Every athletic journey is supported here, from striving for the next level to balancing sports with other pursuits. Our approach nurtures the whole student-athlete, supporting excellence in sport, leadership, and character. Here, you’ll push through challenges, show up for your teammates, and discover what you’re truly capable of.

Inside the Program

Exceptional teams start with exceptional coaches.

At SLS, our program directors and coaches are experts in their sport and dedicated mentors who know each athlete as both a student and an individual. They inspire Storm athletes to play with determination, embrace challenges, and grow through every experience.

Storm Athletics is grounded in sportsmanship, respect, and teamwork. Our athletes lead by example, setting the standard for character and leadership both in competition and in the community. Championships matter, but the lessons learned and the character built along the way are what truly define our legacy.

These highlights capture a few of the ways Storm athletes achieve, grow, and lead on the Hilltop:
