While Cleveland Heights does not host professional sports teams (residents support Cleveland's Browns, Guardians, and Cavaliers), community sports are a major point of pride.
* **Cleveland Heights High School (The Tigers)**: A historic powerhouse in Ohio high school sports, particularly in football and basketball. The community turns out strongly for Friday night football games at the high school stadium. * **Hockey and Skating**: The local ice rinks at the Community Center host robust youth hockey leagues, figure skating clubs, and high school teams.
