Athletics

Welcome to Ramaz Upper School Athletics!
I would like to welcome you to the Ramaz Athletic Department consisting of over 25 teams and over 200 student-athletes. We offer student-athletes an opportunity to develop and enhance their academic, athletic, social, and leadership skills. During our seasons - fall, winter and spring, our young men and women compete for many championships. Needless to say, we are very proud of the academic and athletic achievements of our student-athletes at Ramaz.
While academic success in the classroom is paramount and our first priority, there are many life lessons learned by being a part of a team that are equally important. Working together to achieve a common goal prepares student-athletes for many life experiences. The practices and games we play provide our student-athletes with opportunities for lifetime relationships with teammates, coaches, and opponents.
At Ramaz, it is our mission to provide opportunities for all our students to pursue and develop well-rounded and healthy lifestyles. We are committed to developing the gifts and talents of all of our student-athletes and maintaining an athletic program that continues our tradition of making history and building futures for all our Rams.
With recent improvements to our gym (RAMDOME) and facilities and the dedication of our coaches and staff, we hope to put each student-athlete in the best possible position to succeed.
GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ari Witkes, Athletic Director

In addition, parents must complete and sign a Student/Athlete Team Participation Form if their child participates on a sports team.
