Growing through sport

As boys move through St Charles College, sport progresses from movement, coordination and play into more structured skill development, team participation and a wider range of sporting opportunities.

Younger boys are introduced to the joy of participation. As they mature, they are exposed to broader sporting options and given more responsibility in choosing where they want
to grow.

Building confidence, fitness and skill

Support areas

Physical Education and conditioning help boys develop from agility, coordination and movement into more directed training and age-appropriate physical preparation.
The nursing team works with Sport to help ensure boys are cared for, with attention given to injury prevention and recovery. Physiotherapy support is also part of the wider sporting environment.
