Participation in sports is a privilege that enhances the overall educational experience while requiring commitment and responsibility to the teams, coaches, selves, and Latin community.

Roman Athletics achieves its mission by:
  • Supporting the Latin School of Chicago's mission of sustaining a diverse, inclusive, and multicultural community that values each individual; 
  • Upholding a no-cut policy in Middle School and a no-cut philosophy in Upper School, encouraging multi-sport participation, fostering a passion for athletics, and instilling lifelong values; 
  • Ensuring all individuals (administrators, coaches, staff, student-athletes, alumni, and parents/guardians) value the foundational principles developed through athletic participation; 
  • Creating practice and competition schedules that foster team success at very level.
