Welcome to Maryknoll Athletics!
WHAT MAKES MARYKNOLL ATHLETICS SPECIAL?
Maryknoll School is the only school in the State of Hawaii that participates in three different leagues. Student athletes may participate on an athletic team starting from the Grade 5 through Grade 12. The Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) services our student athletes in, grades 7–12 in 31 different sports.

The Christian Schools Athletic League (CSAL) gives our 5th and6 th graders an opportunity to represent the school in Volleyball and Basketball.
Since 1973, Maryknoll School has been a member of the Pac-Five athletic program, which gives our student athletes from small ILH schools a chance to participate in a wider variety of sports that demand numbers and/or special facilities.

We also participate in Summer Athletic Programs, which are crucial to the progression and development of our athletic program.
We have 100+ paid and volunteer coaches. 12 of our coaches are also Maryknoll teachers, including former University of Hawaii Basketball Wahine Michelle Gabriel.
