The Robinson Rams are the athletic teams of Robinson Secondary School of Fairfax, Virginia, a suburb southwest of Washington, D.C. The school's athletic program includes 18 VHSL 6A varsity sports which compete in the Concorde District of the Group 6A North Region, formerly the AAA Northern Region.
The varsity football team plays at Coffey Stadium, and its helmet is currently similar to that of the Los Angeles Rams of the NFL. Given the team's popularity, long-time success, and sizable student body, the Rams regularly attract 1000 fans a game.
Robinson has appeared in the state championship game of Virginia's largest football classification (AAA Division 6) four times (1988, 1997, 2001, 2004); winning twice (1997, 2001). Robinson has won the Northern Region title six times: 1977, 1988, 1992, 1997, 2001, and 2004, and the district title (Northern ('72-'92), then Patriot ('93-'04)) in 1977, 1979, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2009. Robinson was moved to the Concorde district in the fall of 2005.
In 2004, the Rams were undefeated through the regular season and three playoff games, but met another undefeated team, Landstown of Virginia Beach in the state finals in Richmond. Landstown won 47-20, and Robinson finished as state runner-up with a record of 13-1. Landstown featured stand out offensive and defensive player Percy Harvin who has since gone on to stardom at the University of Florida and with the Minnesota Vikings.
