DA Lions Athletics

Challenge. Compete. Cultivate.

At Dakar Academy Schools, athletics provide an opportunity for students to challenge themselves, compete against their peers, and cultivate important life skills like teamwork and overcoming adversity.

Starting in kindergarten, students are encouraged to participate in a range of athletic activities that promote health and well-being. From team sports to clubs to DA's very own "Olympics," there are opportunities for every age group and skill level to practice physical health and good sportsmanship.
