A Message from the Director of Athletics

New York Military Academy competes in the Hudson Valley Athletic League with other day and boarding schools such as Storm King, Oakwood Friends, Wooster, Chase, South Kent , Christian Heritage, Poughkeepsie Day, Forman, Marvelwood, Watkinson, Harvey and Darrow.

The school uses one football field; two soccer fields; one baseball field; one softball field; one lacrosse field; two swimming pools; one gym with basketball, wrestling and weight room; and eight tennis courts. Students and faculty use all of the facilities during free time.

At New York Military Academy, all students must compete in athletics for all three seasons. Whether they are learning the basics of fencing or karate, or have been excelling in football or basketball, they are part of the athletic tradition. We offer 18 interscholastic sports with 22 teams, plus some recreational activities. Depending upon the student's experience, each can compete on the varsity, junior varsity or junior high level.

NYMA has always valued the important role athletics plays in the development of each student. While some schools have eliminated or watered down their athletics requirements over the years, we believe that participation in sports teaches lessons that can applied to life: discipline, sacrifice, teamwork and friendships that will last a lifetime.
