Athletics

You are a fierce competitor fully supported by a community of brothers.

At Landon, we require physical activity because boys require it to focus and excel. Throughout their academic career, each student-athlete will participate in individual or team sports, whether intramurals or interscholastic competition up through the varsity level.

Men and women, many of whom are teacher-coach-mentors, expertly hone athletic ability, strengthen physical and mental lifelong health, and mentor each boy’s development as a competitor and a young man of character.

Landon’s extensive championships and titles are a product of the determination and perseverance of every Bear, and his dedication to himself, his sport, and his teammates.

In most cases, the same men and women who challenge and advise boys in Landon’s rigorous curriculum also inspire and coach boys to reach their athletic potential.

These teacher-coach-mentor relationships form strong bonds of mutual trust and respect—essential for boys to reach their highest level of academic and athletic achievement. The emphasis on relationships attracts talented and committed men and women who choose Landon because they want to make a difference in boys’ lives. These exceptional individuals treat this responsibility with the seriousness, commitment, and energy it deserves.

Landon’s 75-acre campus is filled with state-of-the-art athletic facilities like the Barton Alumni Athletic Center, which includes two gymnasiums, a wrestling room, and a 5,500-square-foot strength and conditioning area featuring nearly 9,000 pounds of free weights.
 

We recently installed a new turf field and resurfaced our seven-lane track. Landon boasts four grass fields, 10 outdoor tennis courts, two baseball fields, an outdoor swimming pool, two miles of cross-country trails, and a riflery range. Our ice hockey team skates nearby in the Bears’ Den at Rockville Ice Arena.
