The Phoenix Day School for the Deaf Athletic Department considers athletics an integral part of education and believes that participation in sports develops and instills the qualities of pride, unity and victory; while developing  the student athlete to live life with strong social conscience.  It is our goal to give our student athletes the tools and skills to achieve this mission.  Being a part of a team not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but provides multiple opportunities for skill enhancement, competition, collaboration, and cooperation. 

We also believe that physical fitness, discipline and success can help promote academic success and we expect our athletes take pride in their performance in the classroom as well as on the field.  While we strive to build competitive, winning teams, our primary mission is to promote the value of school spirit and fair play.
