Webb School of Knoxville is a PreK – 12th grade independent preparatory school located in Knoxville, Tennessee. Enrollment at the school is approximately 1,100. Athletics play an integral role in the Webb School experience. They are an extension of our classrooms where dynamic growth transpires; where our students continue to learn about hard work, perseverance, and dedication toward a goal. They are about supporting and sacrificing for a team; about competing with character to bring out the best in yourself, your teammates, and your opponents; and about winning and losing with humility. It’s all about the challenge – one that we enthusiastically embrace.
Our emphasis is on chasing excellence in every sport we offer. We have a proud history of growing successful teams that compete at advanced levels. Webb School boasts 76 state championships – 41 in girls, 37 in boys – in 14 different sports. Over 75% of our students in grades 7 through 12 participate in at least one athletic team. Spartan graduates have gone on to play at colleges and universities across the nation, as well as professionally. Our seasoned coaching staff, which includes over 80 coaching positions, and our outstanding facilities are cornerstones of a storied athletics tradition.
Our facilities are impressive. We have three gyms, 4 fields, 3 indoor tennis courts, football stadium and turf football and lacrosse field, track, and running course. In the fall of 2023, we added to our athletic facilities a new softball complex, indoor hitting and pitching facility, turf lacrosse field, and sports performance center which included an indoor turf field, weight room, cardio mezzanine, golf simulator and team meeting room along with a full-time Director of Sports Performance.
