Independence Academy Athletics

At Independence Academy, we believe athletics are more than just games—they’re an opportunity to build character, teamwork, and school spirit. Our Phoenix athletes learn to lead with integrity, compete with heart, and represent our school with pride on and off the court.

We offer a growing selection of athletic programs designed to help students stay active, develop lifelong fitness habits, and experience the joy of belonging to a team.

Whether you’re trying a new sport for the first time or training to take your skills to the next level, our coaches and staff are here to support every student’s growth as both an athlete and a person. 

Independence Academy Charter School has allowed the Athletic Department to assess an athletic fee to students participating on one or more teams during each season. The Fee is $75 per sport.
