Sports

All cadets at Fishburne Military School are afforded the opportunity to play on a varsity team. The Caissons (refers to a horse-drawn vehicle used by the military to carry ammunitions) play in the VIC -Virginia Independent Conference, except for our football team which plays in the Capital Area Football Conference (CAFC).

The primary objective of Fishburne Military School is to provide a structured environment and centering to allow each cadet to succeed to his maximum potential, and to develop each cadet into a responsible and ethical citizen who will excel as a concerned leader in society. The Athletic Department’s position is that all of our team members are students first and foremost. Academic achievement for each cadet is our overriding concern, because this will provide him with the best educational foundation for future endeavors. Cadet military training is a vital component of the Fishburne experience that fosters self-discipline, patriotism, teamwork and respect for tradition. In a similar vein, the crucible of athletic contests is a key component of a well-rounded education, and provides a terrific opportunity for learning core values of sacrifice, hard work and subordination of self-interest to the greater good of the team.
