There are so many opportunities that I can get here that I am not able to get anywhere else.
At Peddie, athletics are not an addition to your education, they are part of your education. Lessons learned on the fields, courts and courses stay with you for life. Your coach (who might just be your math teacher or dorm supervisor) will mentor you and challenge you to be your best.
Being part of a team. Being relentless. Being ready to grow every day. This is what it means to be a Falcon.
Peddie is where I learned the importance of hard work and the value of good relationships. It taught me things about myself I had no idea existed.”
Where you train and play is critical to your success on the field, court or pool. Peddie’s athletics facilities are among the best in the country and are always improving.
