Team Sports

The Upper School Athletic program is designed to foster sportsmanship and school spirit while preparing students for competition against other nearby independent schools.  Incorporated into an extended school day, the program focuses on teamwork, cooperation, skill-development, and fitness. Games are scheduled respectively both for boys and for girls on a seasonal basis: soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and softball/baseball in the spring.

Participation

4th graders participate once a week in an optional afterschool program that begins to bridge the gap between Physical Education and Athletics. This program includes a limited schedule of games against other schools. Physical Education class continues for 5th and 6th graders, but gender-specific athletics is now incorporated into an extended school day. Teams are generally coached by CHS teachers, and all-school Pep Rallies are held on a seasonal basis.
