Teams

Darlington's athletic program is an integral part of school life. It includes a wide range of sports, and all students who are physically able are encouraged to participate in some form of activity. The normal esprit de corps will lead most to desire and to work for positions representing the school on teams in interscholastic competition.

Competing in the Georgia High School Association, Darlington fields varsity teams in 11 sports for boys and 11 sports for girls. There are also junior varsity and middle school teams in most sports. Outside of GHSA, student-athletes can also participate in crew as well as our soccer and tennis academies. Darlington's teams are perennially competitive and have won area, region and state championships. In 2009, Darlington placed No. 2 in the GADA Dodge Directors Cup, which recognizes athletic departments in all GHSA classifications that have excelled and shown superior performance.

The goals of Darlington’s athletic program include developing skills, working together toward a positive team experience, learning and practicing good sportsmanship, realizing individual and group potential, and having the chance to compete.
