Welcome to Athletics

Hello families,

Our objective is to guide students in developing a healthy lifestyle that will influence them throughout their lives.

John Jay's Interscholastic Athletic program provides a competitive experience in a culture that maximizes development, teaches important life lessons and promotes individual growth within a safe and healthy environment. These experiences will become memories that will last a lifetime. The key initiatives that fuel our philosophy are “Pursuing Victory Honor” and the “Player Development Model.”

The Katonah-Lewisboro School District offers 70+ interscholastic teams at the modified, freshman, junior varsity and varsity levels.

We look forward to teaching your children.

Sincerely,

Christian McCarthy 

Director of Health, Athletics, Physical Education and Wellness
