We can’t wait to see you on the courts, the fields, and in the pool.

The Knights Athletics program proudly features 45 Upper School sports teams, and more than 80 percent of Upper School students participate in sports each year. Menlo offers unparalleled opportunities and standards of excellence for athletes of all skill levels, ranging from novices to college-bound athletes. Menlo coaches are dedicated to helping student-athletes reach their potential and teaching invaluable life skills through sports.
