Welcome to Panther Athletics!

San Domenico's athletics program offers both recreational and competitive opportunity across a wide range of sports. Here at SD, you will learn that the "playing field" is an extension of the classroom in which many life skills are learned and nurtured.

With approximately 70% of our high school students participating in athletics, I welcome every student to be a part of our program. From college bound scholar-athletes to those who want to try something for the first time, at San Domenico you can experience the best in high school athletics! Under the guidance of an outstanding coaching staff, SD means an opportunity to explore, grow, and excel at every level.

Facilities and Coaches

Of our 23 coaches, all have played at the collegiate level, several have played professionally, and three have been inducted into Hall of Fame organizations. Our on-campus athletic facilities include a fitness center, year-round aquatic pool, state-of-the-art gymnasium, 6 tennis courts, an equestrian center, and practice fields. Year round strength and conditioning with a dedicated trainer, and concussion testing for all athletes, are standard parts of our program and just one more way we support our Panther athletes.
