Athletics

Athletic Director: Joan Samonisky

The philosophy of the middle and upper school athletic program is to offer, with appropriate instruction and interscholastic competition, a variety of athletic opportunities that will challenge and motivate each student to try and do their best and possibly further their interests at the next level. Stressed are the fundamentals, tactics and strategies of the game, sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation, and learning how to win and lose graciously. There are no cuts and everyone plays at a level that their ability permits. At the varsity level, winning takes on a greater focus and not everyone plays in every game. At all other levels, all eligible players should play in each game. Participation is emphasized.
