Interscholastic Sports

Interscholastic competition is offered for all students in grades 6-8.  These programs are an extension of the Physical Education curriculum offered in grades K-8. The goal of the programs is to encourage participation while providing appropriate social, conceptual and skill development for each student.

co-ed flag football

Interscholastic sports include basketball, cross-country running, flag football, track and field, girls' volleyball, and ultimate frisbee.
Teams are designed to teach students individual and team skills and concepts while at the same time emphasizing the importance of respect, good sportsmanship and healthy competition.  Coaches are sensitive to providing equal opportunities/playing time to all players.  School teams are usually grade-level teams although groupings may vary depending on the number of students interested in participating.  The goal is to field teams that are as competitive as possible within the context of our philosophy:

  • Sixth-grade teams are designed to introduce students to the school’s competitive programs.  Emphasis is on teaching and reinforcing basic individual and team concepts through drills, scrimmages, and games.
  • Seventh-grade teams mark an increase in the level of competition. The focus of the 7th grade teams is to continue developing individual skills while increasing emphasis on team concepts and strategy.
  • Eighth-grade teams represent the highest level of interscholastic competition offered.  The focus of these teams is to begin fine-tuning individual skills and introduce the students to more advanced team strategies and concepts.

Participation and inclusiveness are important at every level.

ChampsStudents are encouraged to give their best efforts in both practices and interscholastic games, and are reminded that they are representing their school both on and off the court. 
Ultimately, our interscholastic athletics programs are committed to helping students develop effective skills and team concepts while enjoying the physical and mental challenges of team sports.  Overall, winning is a goal for each team, but not in place of good sportsmanship and respect for teammates and opponents.
