GPS Athletics | A Tradition of Athletic Excellence

At GPS we play to win, but not just on the field. We also want to see girls win in life. Research shows that every aspect of a girl’s life can be enhanced by participating in sports: relationships, confidence, emotional wellbeing, even academic performance.

Our founders incorporated exercise into the curriculum in 1906. Since then, GPS has been a trailblazer for the advancement of girls athletics, launching sports programs where there previously were none.

Bruisers athletes often find the lessons they learn in sports directly apply to their lives, giving them the tenacity, dedication, and leadership skills to succeed. So while we celebrate each state championship ring, each regional title, and each Bruiser who goes on to play in college, we know that all of our athletes win by being part of a team.

Whether she wants to step up to the plate or into the boat, bowl a strike, kick a goal, approach the net, or race to the finish line, she is supported and encouraged to get in the game.

With a program specifically designed for her physical, mental, and socio-emotional needs, girls receive the support necessary to play sports.
