Athletic Updates

Students interested in participating in athletics must create an account on Aktivate.com to upload their current OCPS Sports Physical prior to trying out for any team. Students must also have a 2.0 grade point average overall. Coaches will choose students for teams based upon their skill, sportsmanship, character, attitude, commitment, and academic achievement.  All Athletic programs will stress academic success, physical fitness, character development, discipline, and good sportsmanship. Our athletes represent Pershing School and the community.  Student athletes are expected to be student leaders with positive behavior both in competition and in the classroom.

If you have any questions please contact our Pershing Athletics Director Coach Dillon at 407-858-3160 ext. 3742268 or eric.dillon@ocps.net.
