Athletics
Interscholastic sports are very popular at the Academy. Two-thirds of
Middle and Upper School students sport their cardinal and navy colors
in the different sports available at the Academy. Long-standing rivalries
with other schools add excitement to the school year. Because The Montgomery
Academy is a smaller school, we are able to offer students more opportunities
to play their chosen sports and to develop their athletic skills to the
fullest. Coaches are dedicated to bringing out the best in their players
and to teaching the value of sportsmanship and teamwork. All students
participate in physical education classes where they can explore a variety
of sports and fitness activities.
Every student becomes an athlete in May as the school celebrates Eagle
Day, a field day of athletic events between the Cardinal and Navy teams
- the winner claiming the victory flag that is flown over the school for
the next academic year.
The Montgomery Academy's Athletic Department provides all necessary equipment such as bats, balls, helmets, and all required padding for football. In addition, all team uniforms are provided with tennis being the only exception. Parents of students participating on MA sports teams may incur costs for team spirit packs. Spirit packs include items that enhance school spirit and unity, but are not required for participation.

Association and abides by the association's rules, regulations and ethics
governing high school athletic events. The Academy has several athletic
