GDA’s athletic program is designed to be co-curricular. We believe the habits, skills, and character developed through athletic participation enhances a student’s academic pursuits. Our dedicated coaches celebrate each athlete’s personal growth in sport and character. We strive to provide training experiences that shape not only our athletes’ bodies, but their hearts and minds. The Lion Athletics community fosters team spirit and life-long friendships.
