Lower School Sports

From skill development to competition, teaching our youngest Royals the love of the game.

Lower School Sports and Clinics

The Lower School Sports Program provides both competitive team sports and sports clinics.

Lower School Sports League – Team Programs

Join us as we partner with other local private Christian schools to provide our youngest Royal athletes with their first experience in competitive sports. Practices are held after school, one time a week. Games are generally held one time a week at rotating private school locations. The Lower School Sports League seasons last 6 weeks. Volunteers are needed to coach these teams.

6-Week Sports Skills Clinics 

Athletes in Sports Skills Clinics meet once per week for 6-week sessions. This time is utilized to learn and improve on sports-specific skills. All sessions are held at TFA.

4-Day Sports Clinics

4-Day Sports Clinics are led after school by TFA’s Varsity Coaches and are scheduled between Team and 6-week Sports Sessions.
