Why Join?

Joining PrepADs means becoming part of a purpose-driven community built specifically for the independent school athletic director.

This is a role that carries unique challenges, balancing educational values with competitive excellence, managing broad responsibilities, and often doing so in isolation. PrepADs provides a network of independent school athletic directors who understand that reality and are committed to supporting one another through it.

Membership offers meaningful professional growth through shared best practices, mentorship, and access to relevant resources tailored to our schools. It’s not just about learning, it’s about learning from people who do exactly what you do, in environments that mirror your own.

PrepADs also creates a space for collaboration. It gives independent school athletic directors a collective voice, an opportunity to exchange ideas, and a platform to elevate the standard of our profession.


Most importantly, joining PrepADs is about impact. When we grow as leaders, our programs grow stronger, our coaches are better supported, and our student-athletes benefit from more intentional, values driven experiences.
