Athletics
Show your Dragon pride.
Just like our mighty mascot, Glenelg Country School student-athletes are brave on and off the field. They routinely put the good of the team above individual pride and are valued for both their heart and skill. With 43 teams, 17 of them in Middle School, athletes can take up a new sport, improve in one they love, and help bring home a championship banner. Whatever a player’s starting point, coaches help identify personal goals (including good sportsmanship and teamwork) and support each athlete’s efforts to achieve them.
With a range of sports to choose from, athletes are encouraged to find what fits their unique skill sets, and each sport offers an opportunity to belong to a dynamic community of team players. Train in a 35,000-square-foot Athletic Center with a fitness facility, athletic conditioning room, wrestling room, locker rooms, and two basketball courts.
GCS boys compete in the MIAA and girls in the IAAM, the conferences where Maryland’s top independent schools play. Our teams face McDonogh, Park, Roland Park, Bryn Mawr, St. Paul’s, Severn, Garrison Forest, and Notre Dame Prep week after week.
Our experienced coaches work with every athlete to promote goal setting, sportsmanship, and academic achievement.
