Athletic Programs
Since fielding our first team in 1966, Cardigan has become a premier program where young players develop their skills to play at the next level.
We understand that athletics can play a key role in the development of a boy’s character, and we remain committed to our student-athletes, both in the classroom and on the field. We have four lacrosse teams, each with a dedicated and experienced coaching staff. There is place for every boy to play in an environment that fosters skill development, understanding of team concepts, and sportsmanship.
Many of our players matriculate to the finest secondary schools in the country, and dozens of Cardigan graduates have enjoyed successful college careers.

One of things we know is that middle school boys need to be active, so part of their education is athletic education. A lot of the boys come with a sport of hockey or lacrosse or skiing that they feel is an important part of their identity. We want to honor that, and we want to do it the right way.
