Notre Dame Academy has one of the largest Athletic Programs in the Diocese of Buffalo. Throughout the year we have over 30 teams participating in leagues throughout Western New York. We are able to provide athletic opportunities to students in 1st grade through 8th grade.
Participation in physical activity has a significant positive impact on people's health and well-being. Therefore, Notre Dame Academy feels that children need to participate on athletic teams, as long as the student expresses a desire to join a sports team. The NDA sports program, does everything possible to avoid cutting players from sports teams. We try to instill in our students ideals of teamwork, sportsmanship, and commitment, while contributing to the physical development of a child.
