Athletic Department
Athletics at Perkiomen School are an integral aspect of the student experience. As part of our co-curricular education, engaging and participating in athletics provides opportunities for students to grow their leadership potential, build communication skills, and learn to collaborate. With 27 teams at the middle school, JV, Varsity, and Prep/National levels, we offer numerous opportunities for athletes of all ability levels.
Beginning in the 2026 - 2027 school year, Perkiomen athletics will participate as a member of the Friends School League (FSL). The FSL is comprised of many of the top private and independent schools in the greater Philadelphia area. Perkiomen is also a member of the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association, where we compete against peer schools for Pennsylvania state championships.
We are committed to providing an athletic environment that emphasizes hard work and character development, promotes teamwork and sportsmanship, and allows our students to risk becoming their best.
We invite you to learn more about Panther Athletics and share in our Perk Pride. Athletic-related questions or inquiries can be sent to the Office of Athletics, via email, linked below the photos.
Athletic Requirements:
All students are required to participate in an after-school activity each trimester. Students are required to participate, as a team player, in at least one interscholastic team sport, or one of the other physically active programs, each school year.
Students who are actively engaged at a high level in an athletic activity that Perkiomen does not offer but that is comparable to the expectations and time commitment required of all students may petition the Athletic Department for an exemption to Perkiomen’s school-offered activity requirement.
Exemptions are typically approved for the following:
- Club or AAU athletics outside of the Perkiomen playing season
- Athletic activities that are not offered at Perkiomen. Some recent examples have been BMX Bike Racing, Martial Arts, competitive skiing, crew, equestrian
- Medical reasons
Exemptions will not be granted for the following:
- Outside gym memberships
- Outside strength and conditioning programs
- Athletics that are offered by Perkiomen and are in-season
- Outside coursework such as SAT tutoring
Students who receive an after-school exemption MUST leave campus at the conclusion of classes. If students with an exemption are found to be on campus during after-school activities, their exemptions may be rescinded.”
The activity exemption form must be submitted to the Director of Athletics at least two weeks prior to the start of the athletic season.
