from the Athletic Director

One of the comments that I receive over and over as we welcome teams and prospective families to Whitefield Academy is how impressed they are with our athletic facilities and campus. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead at a school that puts an emphasis on giving our student-athletes the very best opportunity possible to maximize the abilities and talents that God has given them.

Over the past few years, Whitefield has invested generously in improving and adding to our athletic facilities to allow for more optimal practice space, better training, and quicker recovery. We have hundreds of student-athletes who train daily in the weight room and a similar number who are seen, evaluated, and treated by our sports medicine staff each week during the season. As Whitefield has continued to expand, we have outgrown many of the original spaces and developed a need to expand in those areas to continue to serve our athletes well. Pictures featured on the next page will give you a glimpse of those two newly-renovated spaces that will allow more athletes and students to access these vital resources daily.

Not only have the weight room and athletic training room been renovated, but we have also redone both indoor court surfaces, the turf and the track, along with the 10 tennis courts.

Furthermore, over the course of the last three years, we have created a new wrestling mod, built a new indoor hitting facility for softball and baseball, added new LED lighting to the athletic center, and built new competition fields to allow for more efficient practices in the fall and spring seasons.

I am excited to continue to see the growth and development of Whitefield athletics as the Lord continues to provide an opportunity for our young men and women to grow in their walk with Him as He shapes and molds them through the incredible platform of athletics!
