At the high school level, Oxford offers varsity baseball, JV and varsity tennis (boys and girls), swimming (boys and girls), JV and varsity basketball (boys and girls), JV and varsity soccer (boys and girls), JV and varsity volleyball (boys and girls), varsity softball, track (boys and girls), and cross-country (boys and girls). The physical education department recently attempted to add water polo, but was unable to add the school to any competitions. The varsity baseball won the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section Championship in 2009 and 2010. Swimming has won several individual or relay events.
Junior high students can compete in a variety of intramural sports against other schools in the Anaheim Union High School District.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“I looked so much like a guy you couldn’t tell if I was a boy or a girl. I had no hair, I wore guys’ clothes, I walked like a guy ... [ellipsis in source] I didn’t do anything right except sports. I was a social dropout, but sports was a way I could be acceptable to other kids and to my family.”
—Karen Logan (b. 1949)
“Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
And desolation saddens all thy green;
One only master grasps the whole domain,
And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
“In the end, I think you really only get as far as you’re allowed to get.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
