Athletics
Where Every Student Gets in the Game
At Mason Prep, athletics are an exciting and meaningful part of student life. Our program is built on the belief that every student should have the opportunity to be part of a team. There are no cuts, just opportunities to try something new, build skills, and discover a love of the game.
From the earliest years, students are introduced to a variety of sports in PE, building confidence and foundational skills that carry over into team play. As they grow, those skills develop into strategy and a deeper understanding of the game. Along the way, students learn what it means to support their teammates and compete with integrity.
Team Sports
Mason Prep offers a range of team sports for students in grades 2–8, with many opportunities to get involved. Because everyone is welcome, students are encouraged to try different sports, challenge themselves, and find where they thrive. It’s not uncommon to see students playing multiple sports throughout the year. Mason Prep athletes leave our program ready for the next level. With strong fundamentals and an understanding of teamwork and commitment, our students transition smoothly into high school athletics.
Volleyball
Girls in grades 5–8 can participate in volleyball each fall, competing in the City of Charleston Recreational League. It’s a fast-paced, team-focused sport that builds communication and confidence.
Basketball
Basketball is one of the most popular programs at Mason Prep, with teams for boys and girls in grades 2–8. The season runs from October through early February, with competition through the St. Joseph Athletic Association and Trident Basketball Association. From first-time players to experienced athletes, there’s a place for everyone on the court. Our youngest students begin building skills and confidence through developmental basketball programs in Kindergarten and first grade. These intramural experiences focus on learning the game, working as a team, and having fun, laying the foundation for future participation.
Tennis
Our co-ed tennis program for grades 4–8 takes place in the spring and is organized through the Charleston Tennis Center. With an MPS coach and Charleston Tennis Center pro, students develop skills and sportsmanship in a supportive and encouraging environment.
