We believe that participating in athletics and activities will build strong relationships and increase equitable opportunities to help students thrive.
We believe involvement in any school activity provides a unique opportunity to build community relationships, foster communal pride, and maintain long-term self-esteem.
We believe participation in athletics and activities has a lasting positive impact on the whole child 3-2-1 (3 trusted adults, 2 positive peers, 1 extracurricular participation).
Interscholastic Athletics:
Interscholastic athletic programs compete against other schools in organized and competitive play. Athletes will be taught skills and sportsmanship and achieve personal growth. Leman offers a wide variety of sports including flag football, soccer, cross country, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, cheer, and track and field.
Intramural Athletics:
Intramural sports are held in-house and provide exercise, recreation, and a more inclusive experience. Students can choose from various intramural offerings, including volleyball, basketball, futsal, soccer, and badminton.
We are excited about your athlete's participation!
