Our LILA Lions teams represent the athletics department and the School in competition across the city and county.
LILA Lions are taught the fundamentals of athletic development, team spirit, and commitment. Our coaches dedicate themselves to the mission of providing athletic opportunities to a wide range of students and an environment in which all student-athletes can achieve their academic and competitive goals. In competition, our department fosters principles of good sportsmanship, respect, fair play, and athletic excellence. In all of their activities, each one of our LILA Lions coaches insists on integrity, ethical conduct, and accountability. We work as a community to uphold all of these values.
The mission of the School’s Athletics Department is to provide student-athletes with an opportunity to compete in a quality program that is an integral part of their educational experience. We strive to foster excellence by developing a coherent sports curriculum. Middle and high school students must attend tryouts and be selected to represent the School. High school student-athletes on our boys’ basketball, boys’ soccer, and boys’ and girls’ volleyball teams will participate in competition overseen by the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section (CIF-SS), the governing body for high school athletics in most of Southern California.
