Our students learn to honor the game. Win or lose, the ability to participate is a privilege. Just as we teach to the whole child in the classroom, our coaches are models and teachers of the athlete on the court and field. Along with skills and rules, the athletic department endorses sportsmanship, education, dependability and commitment to the team and all competitors.

Program Advantage
Athletes compete with other private schools in the region, giving Briarwood students the opportunity to compete with their peers, build confidence, and improve their athletic skills.
With Briarwood coaches as teachers, they are able to know their athletes in and out of the classroom.
