Athletic Training
Our certified athletic trainers, supported by Peddie’s school physician, provide expert care at every Peddie game and travel with teams for away games.

I’m a strong believer in athletics as an extension of the classroom. The values we teach in athletics — teamwork, commitment, resilience — apply to every aspect of a student’s life.”
