Play. Grow. Belong.

Building future Spartans — one game at a time.

Tree icon.
At St. Johns Country Day School, athletics start early, and they’re about more than learning the rules of the game. Our Junior Spartans program introduces Lower School students to the fundamentals of teamwork, sportsmanship, and self-confidence in a fun, encouraging environment.

The Junior Spartans program offers after-school activities for students for students to build coordination, fitness, and a lifelong love of movement. Coaches focus on developing age-appropriate skills, instilling respect for others, and celebrating both effort and achievement.

What Junior Spartans Learn

  • Teamwork, communication, and leadership skills
  • Healthy habits and the importance of staying active
  • Perseverance, confidence, and respect — on and off the field
Where teamwork and confidence begin
