Athletics

From day one, physical education plays a crucial role in your child’s journey. Here, exercise and competition don’t stand apart from the rest of education—they intentionally fuel every student’s academic and emotional growth. That’s why we provide physical education classes for all children from their first day of preschool, where our youngest students build motor skills mental and physical. And a favorite RHLS tradition is our annual Jog-a-thon —one day for grades TK-8 to run, earning money for our school.

Starting in sixth grade, we also offer competitive interscholastic team sports including soccer, volleyball, and basketball. We play local teams, and the time commitment from students is minimal, allowing students to continue participation in other sports/activities.

Through our fun, invigorating program, your child experiences the joys and challenges of teamwork, earns confidence by building physical strength and skill, develops sportsmanship, and knows the exhilaration of robust health. In our supportive, inclusive environment, children flourish through a leveled approach tailored for beginning, intermediate, and experienced athletes. And your child feels excited and encouraged to try out new experiences and reach for higher goals.

Middle School Sports

We also offer an after school team sports program where students can play boys and girls soccer, basketball, and volleyball. We are in a South Bay middle school league with other schools such as Country Day School, Rolling Hills Prep, First Lutheran of Torrance, and others. In the last 4 years, we have won girls’ soccer and 3 girls’ volleyball championships along with 2nd place in boys’ soccer, boys’ volleyball championship, and boys’ basketball championship. We are very proud of the effort our middle school athletes give to RHLS.
