Providing Fitness and Team-Oriented Extracurricular Athletic Options

CAIS athletics offers students many opportunities to have fun, improve fitness, learn skills and teamwork and enrich friendships. CAIS Athletics believes that team sports are an integral part of the school experience; mentally, physically and socially. All CAIS students are highly encouraged to participate in at least one season of sport per year. All participants will be placed on a team regardless of age or ability. Minimum requirements for participation are a great attitude, a willingness to work hard and the desire to improve one's performance for the good of the team, and attend at least one practice/week.
