EDGE ATHLETICS

Edge Athletics Proudly Announces Its New Home at Our Lady of Lourdes High School

As many of you know, Poughkeepsie Day School recently sold the Gilkeson Center to the Town of Poughkeepsie. Since that announcement, many athletes and families have asked what the future would hold for Edge Athletics. Today, we are excited to share the answer. Effective immediately, Edge Athletics will proudly call Our Lady of Lourdes High School its new home.

Throughout this transition, every decision has been guided by one simple question:

“What is best for the young athletes and families we serve?”

We believe this move answers that question.

For more than 30 years, Edge Athletics has been committed to helping young athletes grow—not only as basketball players, but as confident, resilient young men and women prepared for success both on and off the court.

Before looking ahead, thank you to Poughkeepsie Day School for providing a home to Edge Athletics for so many years. We are grateful to the Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, staff, and the entire PDS community for their friendship and support. Together, we created memories that will always be part of the Edge Athletics story, and we wish everyone at Poughkeepsie Day School continued success in the years ahead.

Thank you also to Our Lady of Lourdes High School for opening its doors to Edge Athletics and providing a home where we can continue serving athletes and families throughout the Hudson Valley. This outstanding facility allows us to continue offering the same camps, clinics, training programs, AAU teams, open gyms, leagues, and community programs that families have trusted for more than three decades.

While basketball brings us together, Edge Athletics has always been about more than the game itself. Every athlete has a different story. Some come to improve their skills, while others come looking for confidence, encouragement, friendships, positive role models, or simply a place where they feel they belong. Helping young people build character, overcome adversity, develop leadership, and prepare for life beyond basketball has always been at the heart of our mission.

While our address is changing, our purpose is not. Edge Athletics has never been defined by a building. It has always been defined by the people who make up our community and the values we strive to teach every day. We are excited to welcome everyone to our new home at Our Lady of Lourdes High School and to continue serving the athletes and families of the Hudson Valley for many years to come.

Thank you for believing in Edge Athletics. More importantly, thank you for trusting us with your children. That trust has been our greatest responsibility for more than three decades, and we look forward to honoring it for many years to come in our new home.

The best is yet to come.
