ATHLETICS
Each sport at Molloy has a storied tradition and championship history. Molloy boasts a very talented and dedicated coaching staff across the board in all sports. Alumni and former collegiate and professional athletes take on significant roles in guiding our energetic young Stanner athletes throughout the year. Molloy offers a total of 44 team sports for both boys and girls, 17 at the varsity level. Our athletes are taught to be champions both on and off the field as displayed by the volunteer opportunities and experiences that are arranged for by our teams during the year. Each summer some members of the boys and girls Track and Field Teams are invited to attend a Molloy track camp in Vermont run by our own track coaches. Our Intramural Sports Program is open to all students and offers participation in after school sports. Molloy student athletes have access to numerous facilities on campus that allow for them to practice and perform at the highest levels. Molloy’s Jack Curran Gymnasium has a rich history and has hosted some of the CHSAA’s greatest players and games. In 2001, a second gymnasium was added, as well as renovations to both the boys and girls the locker rooms. In addition to the two gymnasiums, Molloy is also home to Stanner Field which is the school’s baseball field that is located on campus. Also included on campus is an all-weather track and a weight room making Molloy a great venue for our athletic teams to practice and compete.
