The mission of York School Athletics is to strive for the highest level of personal growth and athletic excellence. To fulfill this mission, we strive to compete fairly and respectfully and we strive to develop our student-athletes’ skills, competitive drive, perseverance, and integrity. York School Athletics is built on competition and participation so students can improve their athletic abilities, work with teammates toward a common goal, and practice sportsmanship. 

Our varsity athletes are regularly recognized for their outstanding achievements and regularly compete in the CCS Championships. The 2022 Varsity Girls Soccer team, 2023 Golf team, and our undefeated 2023 Girls Basketball team brought home division championships!  Our 2024 Girls Soccer team also concluded an undefeated season as PCAL Cypress Division Champions!  Many former Falcons go on to compete at the collegiate level, including a decorated cross country runner and swimmer who are both currently at Division 1 programs.

  • BRAVO to York Girls Basketball and York Girls Soccer Teams

    The York Girls Basketball team caps off an undefeated PCAL Arroyo Division season with a 58-25 win over Kirby. Quincy Key ’23 finished with 28 points, Asya Wilson ’26 with 16, and Alondra Valdes ’23 with 10. Go Falcons!! The season additionally featured two wins over a fine Santa Catalina team and a win versus a strong Marina team. Quincy Key finished the season as the highest-scoring player in the county, averaging 21.3 points per game, and the team now advances into the CCS Tournament and will play either today or tomorrow. This is the first PCAL Arroyo Division Girls Basketball title in the history of York School! Keep your eye on the York calendar for an update. Congratulations to all of our excellent hoopsters!!  
     
    The York Girls Soccer team did very well in their first season in the higher Cypress Division. The team finished 4th, winning 6, losing 5 and tying 1. Notable victories were the doubles over Stevenson and Notre Dame, the 5-2 victory over King City and the season finale when York won 3-0 against St. Francis, the runners up. Sarah Tate,  Alessia Torrente, Karla Cardenas, Rachael Galinato and Emily Geiser held the defense, while Eleanor Johnson in goal finished the season with the most saves in the region. Rose Finn, Emma Wilcox, Esbeidy Rodriguez-Calvo, Regan Takashima, Brianna Bailey, Maria-Elena Mejia Contreras, Izabella Tejeda and Giada Nuovo controlled the midfield and Lily Gill and Sam Ortiz-Naranjo led the attack. Sam finished the season as the 3rd highest scorer in the region with 22 goals in 14 games. Other mentions go to Hannah Xu, Sophie Sukyas, Vanitha Glover and Maddie Gill. Maddie played everywhere at least twice. We would like to thank Jenny Grossman and Anna Mejia-Conteras for their assistance.
