Maia Shaffer,
Athletic Director

Welcome to the Katz Hillel Day School Athletic Program! Participation on an athletic team can be a rewarding and meaningful experience that enhances a child’s education. It is important that students realize the time demands, responsibility, dedication and sacrifices required when making this kind of commitment.

At KHDS, we consider athletics an integral part of the educational experience. Athletics provides opportunities that will help students develop physically, mentally, and emotionally in safe and nurturing environment. We view the competition of athletics as a healthy educational and physiological activity because it challenges each student to excel, to discover his or her physical limits, and to work cooperatively with team members. While winning is a natural goal in the pursuit of excellence, the principles of good sportsmanship and enjoyment of competition take precedence at all times and enhance the educational value of contests.
