Leake Academy
Sports
Sports have always been a large part of the tradition at Leake Academy. Leake provides many areas of competition that will encourage students to remain healthy and to develop the concept of teamwork. The body is an instrument just like the mind, and it too needs to be pushed and challenged.

We would like to thank everybody once again for the hard work and support of Leake baseball this past year. The improvements to our field and facility would not have been possible without your donations and time. The improvements made a big difference in our game day atmosphere and really brought much excitement for our players, coaches and fans associated with Leake baseball. With these improvements and your continued support of your baseball program, the future looks very bright for our team! Thanks again and 'Go Rebels!' " Josh Ray
After another successful year of Leake Academy tennis, Coach Jones is looking forward to this year's season. This past year saw our number one boys' doubles and number two girls' doubles win the district and the mixed-doubles place second. In the upcoming year, we should have an even stronger showing due to greater experience and an influx of new and talented players.
