While many know Visitation as one of the strongest athletic programs in the area, we take greater pride in the values our players bring to and learn on the field and the wellness practices students hone during their time here.
We offer Freshman, Junior Varsity, and Varsity level competition, as well as no-cut sports like cross country and track, so there's a home for every athlete. Our teams are consistently competitive across the board, earning banners and winning championships. Our student-athletes earn recognition as All-League and Washington Post All-Met athletes and even national honors, with many continuing their careers at the collegiate level.
Visitation has won the Lewis Cup for overall athletic excellence 13 times - more than any other school in the Independent School League.
The strength of our program goes far beyond awards and banners. Our student-athletes build pride and confidence through practice and hard work. They learn the rewards of teamwork, good sportsmanship, patience, and perseverance.

Meet Our Coaches
“Visi Athletics is defined by the distinguished women who compete for our programs each season. The opportunity to compete at a high level with these young women for championships while helping them grow in general is what drew me to Visitation in the first place. It is truly a special environment."
"Working with the Georgetown Visitation athlete for the past 20ish years they never fail to impress me with their commitment to doing not only their best, but willing to stretch themselves just that little bit more to be better than the day before."
"I have had the privilege to coach at Georgetown Visitation for 27 years. Visitation is a special place. I have had the opportunity to coach so many wonderful girls throughout the years who excel in the classroom and on the basketball court."
"What makes the athletic program here special is that you have students who want to be just as successful in the classroom as they are in their athletic endeavors."

Visi Athletics News
Georgetown Visitation’s field hockey team was recently named to the 2021 NFHCA High School National Academic Squad by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association NFHCA). Visitation was one of only 280 high schools from around the nation to have players recognized for their outstanding dedication to excellence both on the field and in the classroom.
The Aqua Cubs finished in third place at the 2022 ISL Conference Championships last Friday with several top-three performances and lifetime best swims.
Earlier this week, the Ice Cubs were ranked #1 by the Washington Post.
