We are a program that is 16 athletic programs and 41 state championships strong. We are a Division 2 school in the Virginia Independent School Athletic Association (VISAA). Our teams compete in the Blue Ridge Athletic Conference (BRAC).

Participation in sports at The Covenant School is both a privilege and an important part of a child’s education. We believe that sportsmanship, hard work, teamwork, and fair play are the building blocks of a sound athletic program. While winning is valued, there is an overriding emphasis on character formation. Over 75% of our students participate on at least one athletic team, while many students participate on several teams. This high participation rate reflects the inclusive nature of the athletic program, the quality of the coaching staff, the camaraderie of our teams, and the enjoyment that athletics provide. 
The Eagle Fund is Covenant's first-ever fundraising initiative focused on Athletics.

Meet the Athletic Director

Patrick Estes brings a wealth of experience in athletics and leadership to Covenant. As a former football player for the University of Virginia, Patrick was drafted by the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers, where he played for three years. In alignment with Covenant’s mission, Patrick will develop and implement a strategic plan for the Athletic Department that will serve as the roadmap for the pursuit of athletic excellence. Patrick is married to Lauren, a second-grade teacher at our Birdwood Campus, and they have three children, all of whom attend Covenant: Kaleb (’27), Noah (’28), and Reese (’30).
