ATHLETICS
Capodanno offers students the opportunity to play various sports while learning the benefits of working as a team, building strong character, and exhibiting a unified sense of community. Our grunt athletes take away meaningful life skills and lessons from their time on the field, court, pool and track.
Capodanno’s sports program is offered during three seasons; Fall, Winter, and Spring. All students are encouraged to participate, regardless of experience. We currently offer Cross Country, Boys Football, Girls Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Field, and Co-ed Swimming.
Before a student can participate in a sport, he/she must have completed a sports physical.
You can catch game updates by following @capodannohigh on Facebook or Instagram.

“Sports are an efficacious antidote against a soft and easy life; they awaken a sense of order; they serve as a test for endurance and a mastery of one’s self, as well as imparting courage without empty show or cowardice.” - Pope Pius XII
