Athletics at
TABOR ACADEMY
Athletics at Tabor‌ aim to achieve the highest goals of sport; to be part of a team, to strengthen the team while strengthening yourself, to compete and to savor victory and learn from our defeats‌ and in the process of all of this, to discover fairness, sacrifice, and aspiration in pursuit of a goal. Athletics are developmental at Tabor with places on varsity teams determined by ability and space available. Students begin at the level most appropriate for them and progress as their interest and abilities evolve. A number of our most competitive teams attract students who start their Tabor careers at the varsity level. The rosters on these teams include at most a handful of students who have transitioned from the junior varsity to varsity level.
