Browne Academy’s inclusive athletics program allows students to join our teams, regardless of their experience in a particular sport. This enables students with no prior experience to try something new, thereby gaining skills and confidence on the field or court. On the flip side, students who have previously played a particular sport have a leadership chance, acting as mentors to the less experienced players.
Browne's teams have won many league championships over the years, as evidenced by the banners hanging in the Center for Athletics and Performing Arts. In 2017-2018, both the girls and the boys 7/8 basketball teams emerged as champions! The 7/8 won the pennant again in 2018-2019.
