Athletics Weekly Update

_{KEY ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS}

Welcome to a New School Year, Cyclone Nation!
The wait is over—Cyclone Athletics is back! Our Varsity teams have been grinding all summer, putting in the sweat, dedication, and teamwork it takes to shine under the bright lights of competition. From building tight-knit team communities to serving others and connecting athletes across middle school, JV, and Varsity, these programs truly reflect the heart and mission of our school. 

And now…it’s go time! This week, we launch into a packed schedule of Varsity action:

• Varsity Volleyball sharpened their game with midweek scrimmages.
   
• Swim dives in this Saturday morning.
   
• Cross Country hits the starting line for their first race of the season.
   
• Varsity Girls Tennis heads to Florence for their opening tournament.
   
• And Friday night it’s the home opener for Cyclone Football! CycloneTown festivities kick off at 6 p.m., with kickoff under the lights at 7:30. Expect energy, excitement, and a campus buzzing with school spirit.  Click here to watch the CycloneTown video. 

We can’t wait to see you around the courts, pool deck, fields, and at the finish line!  Loud, proud, and cheering on our Cyclone student-athletes all season long, Let’s make this year unforgettable!

Season Tickets
We use an online ticketing system for home athletic events where we collect an admission fee (football, volleyball, and basketball). All Porter-Gaud students and faculty members are admitted to athletic events free of charge and do not need to reserve advance tickets. All other visitors may purchase tickets in advance, scan a QR code at the gate, or pay cash. Porter-Gaud also offers a season pass, which gives you up to two tickets to every home sporting event and the option for a free grandparent pass. Click here to learn more and purchase tickets. Unfortunately, these passes do not work for playoff games, and everyone must purchase a ticket for these events. Please note that admission to Friday night's football game following CycloneTown is free for all PG and O'Quinn families.

The New Wendell Floors are Here!
This stunning upgrade, made possible by donor-funded support, will elevate the game for our Cyclones. We’re grateful for the generosity that brought this vision to life and can’t wait to see our student-athletes compete on them soon. Click here to see photos.
