The Cavalier Athletic Conference is a high school athletic conference composed primarily of private schools in Virginia. Member schools compete in various interscholastic sports and are primarily located in the northern and central regions of the state.
The Cavalier Athletic Conference was established to provide a structured athletic environment for private high schools in Virginia. While the exact founding date is not specified in available sources, the conference has been active since at least the early 2000s, facilitating competition among its member schools in various sports disciplines.
The Cavalier Athletic Conference operates as an independent association, separate from the Virginia High School League (VHSL), which governs public school athletics in the state. Member schools are responsible for establishing the conference's bylaws, scheduling competitions, and enforcing eligibility rules. The conference is overseen by a committee composed of athletic directors and administrators from each member school, who collaborate to ensure fair play and coordinate championship events. This governance structure allows the conference to tailor its operations to the specific needs of its private school members.
