Athletics | Los Angeles Private Schools

Confidence. Camaraderie. Character.

At Berkeley Hall, athletics matters. It’s how students grow mentally, physically, and emotionally. From the first swim lesson to the final middle school baseball game, our program is built to support that growth, and spark a lifelong love of movement.

Consideration of others is as integral across our courts and playing fields as it is within our classrooms.

A Program Built for Balance

We believe students can have many passions. Our athletics program is designed to work in harmony with academics and electives, so your child can play soccer and be in the spring musical. Our coaches and teachers collaborate to make it possible for students to explore and thrive. Whether your child is a seasoned athlete or new to sports, they’ll find space here to belong and develop.

Physical Education

Daily Movement. Lifelong Habits.

Our P.E. program is built into the school day, with a robust, intentional curriculum that spans every grade level. Students have physical education four to five times per week, led by teachers who focus on skill-building, fitness, and personal growth.

Students explore traditional sports like basketball, flag football, track, and soccer alongside fitness and wellness lessons.

Athletics Spotlight

Swimming: A Berkeley Hall Signature

From first splash to one-mile swim.

Swimming is a core part of the BHS experience. Students start as early as Nursery, building comfort and safety in the water from a young age. By eighth grade, students swim a full mile and often support peers who are still learning.

Small class sizes allow for individualized instruction
Fall units focus on technique: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, diving, and turns
Spring units add fun and challenge: water polo, treading water, and team games
Our experienced coaching team includes swim club leaders, certified instructors, and lifeguards

We compete in the San Fernando Valley League in the Fall, breaking records, collecting medals, and experiencing inter-school sportsmanship in a thrilling environment. For students not ready for the competitive team, our Spring Swim Club offers a supportive way to build skill and confidence.
