Nurturing Athletic Excellence

At LLA, we’re committed to building the foundation for lifelong athleticism and sportsmanship, from our youngest learners through high school.

Our integrated Physical Education and competitive sports programs are designed to inspire, challenge, build grit, and prepare students for success on and off the mat, court, or field of play. We are building champions for life!

Physical Education Classes at LLA:

K-4th Grade: Students have the opportunity to learn the foundations of many different sports, no matter the seasons outside. We follow the Washington grade-level standards for these teaching topics, and we also expose our students to fitness workouts like AMRAP, EMOM, and Tabata. We strive to build fitness, but have fun in the process. We teach that being an athlete is healthy and rewarding, and we lay a strong foundation so that an LLA Warrior is so well-rounded that he/she can participate in any extracurricular sport they choose.

5th Grade-High School: This program is designed to increase physical fitness, knowledge, cooperation, and enjoyment through health, fitness, and activities that will benefit the student both now and in the future. The purpose of this class is to promote healthy behaviors for today’s young adults. This course includes intense weight lifting at a high tempo that will increase in difficulty progressively throughout the year. The instruction will consist of Olympic, upper body, lower body, flexibility, and core strengthening exercises. We also have a designated Sport Day every week, where we dive deeper into leaning the rules and the movements.

****These P.E. classes are an integral part of our students’ daily routine. P.E. is a core class at our school; not just an elective once a week. We exemplify principles of healthy mind, body, attitude, grit, growth, and others. We echo lessons learned in Warrior Wake-Up, and there is congruent collaboration between our classroom teachers and our P.E. teachers.

Athletics at LLA:

Elementary Partnerships: At Liberty Launch Academy, elementary students have the opportunity to participate in Cross Country, with on-site instruction and competitive team events. For other sports, we support families by providing sign-up links and key dates for local sports organizations. We also help connect LLA families for potential carpooling options to make participation easier.

Middle School Competitive Edge: Enhanced competitive programming with the same sports partnerships mentioned above, aligning with students’ evolving strengths and interests. Official WIAA school participation for grades 6-8.

High School Varsity and JV Teams: Here is where our WIAA representation really amps up. As our high school grows by a new grade level every school year moving forward, we will have more and more opportunities to field enough players for full teams–Varsity and JV.

In the meantime, we are expecting the following school sports for 2024-2025: Fall–Boys and Girls Cross Country Winter–Boys and Girls Wrestling Spring–Boys and Girls Track and Field.

Expected in 2025-2026 year: Girls volleyball and Boys Soccer, Boys and Girls Golf, and more!

Strength and Conditioning and Off-Season Training:

Comprehensive Training Program: Salem Giampietro, of BlackGoat Fitness, creates the backbone of our strength and fitness programming for all of our P.E. students. In addition to her cooperation with our PE staff, she offers many evening classes at her gym (in our building) for Youth and Teen Fitness.

After School Programming:

Diverse Athletic and Creative Activities: Because of our state-of-the-art facilities, and our talented staff and mentors, we host extra opportunities for all age children in our community to dabble in Expect activities like tumbling, jiu jitsu, yoga, soccer, an assortment of dance classes, and more.

Partnered with organized STEAM activities.

Additional Mentors:

Expert Guidance and Support: LLA is proud to collaborate with an array of talented mentors, including professionals and enthusiasts from various fields. These mentors bring unique skills and perspectives, enriching our programs and inspiring our students.
