A Team ApproachBuilding Student-Athletes

List of 6 items.

  • Laying a Foundation in Lower School

    In Lower School, a spirit of cooperation takes precedence over competition. Students develop fine motor skills and lay a foundation for future athletic pursuits during daily PE classes.

    USN provides parents with information about local recreational league play opportunities for their children and may, where possible, help bring parent coaches and interested children together.
  • New Experiences in Middle School

    In fifth grade, USN offers more extensive sports-specific training during the PE block with an introduction to interscholastic competition that varies by sport. Beginning in sixth grade, as students make the transition to interscholastic competition, coaches look to build competitive teams. Where interest exceeds roster space, the school makes every effort to identify other options for students, with the goal of providing the appropriate level of competition and/or skill development for each child.

    Nearly 85% of Middle School students participate in one or more sports throughout the year. Middle School sports practices take place during the school day, and students who do not play a sport are required to take a PE elective. Though electives may vary some by semester, students always have a minimum of four courses to choose from and options typically include time in the Fitness Center, field games, walking, or yoga.
  • Achieving Goals in High School

    Athletics at USN serves as a source of school pride. An integral part of many students' experience, USN provides a variety of athletic opportunities. Our most competitive teams can be found at the High School level where varsity teams compete for conference, regional, and state championships while maintaining the schools' athletic philosophy. As opportunities arise, junior varsity and freshman teams are created.

    In High School, approximately 75% of students participate in one or more sports throughout the year. High School sports practices take place after school, and students who do not participate in at least one sport are required to take one semester of PE per academic year.
  • Athletics Beyond Edgehill

    It is common to have at least five University School of Nashville student-athletes sign college athletic commitment letters each year. USN has 25 alumni participating in their chosen sport at the collegiate level from the Classes of 2021 through 2025.
  • Sports Medicine On Site

    USN employs two full-time, on-site athletic trainers to work closely with student-athletes and coaches to manage all aspects of medical care, including preventative medicine, injury care, and recovery.
  • Join Tiger Club

    USN’s athletic booster club, Tiger Club, helps pay for upgrades to our athletic facilities, coordinates concessions sales, and sponsors our sports recognition evenings. Membership is $100 per household per academic year and includes free admission to all regular season athletic events.
