Our Athletic Program
Whether you are trying a sport for the first time or you're at the top of your game, we have athletic options suited for you—with more than 30 boys, girls and co-ed teams across 18 competitive sports.
VES Bishops value health and wellness, teamwork, sportsmanship and the challenge of a long-standing rivalry. And we're known for the respect we show our competitors and referees. A result of their hard work and commitment, our teams and athletes find success at conference, state and national levels.
We believe it's important to learn to be part of a team, and there's no better place to build life skills than when you are working together toward a common goal.
As a freshman, you will participate on a sports team, and we encourage all students to continue with a sport or afternoon program that supports their well-being throughout their time at VES.
