The Learning Center's athletic program takes place in a beautiful regulation-size gymnasium and on brand new soccer and playing fields. Physical education classes are held during the school day for all age groups. Adaptive PE classes are also conducted for some students, with consultation or direct services of a TLC physical therapist. After school hours, the gymnasium bustles with the activity of seasonal sports: soccer, volleyball, basketball, track and field and cheerleading.

Youth teams in soccer and basketball allow boys and girls, ages 10 to 13, to develop their skills. They participate in clinics, drills, and practice games, and compete with students from area schools. Middle School and High School students who choose to join athletic teams participate in several leagues which involve both Deaf and hearing schools. TLC boys', girls' and coed teams have won several championships in recent years and have hosted major tournaments with schools from across the country.

The Learning Center is a strong proponent of full participation with no try-outs or cuts. Sportsmanship, teamwork, school spirit, and healthy, respectful attitudes and behavior are important themes for all athletic team members. The Learning Center interscholastic athletic basketball and soccer teams are members of the Girls Independent League of Massachusetts and Massachusetts Bay Independent League which compete with independent private schools for hearing schools. The teams also participate in the Eastern Schools for the Deaf Athletics Association which consists of schools for the Deaf in every state on the East Coast.
