I love how the Northwest School creates opportunities for students to try new things. My 6th grader had never participated in any sports before - now he not only loves soccer and basketball, but also became captain of the 6th grade soccer team! I also appreciate how the Middle School Athletics program allows team sports to have their practice time during the school day as their PE class.

Middle School Athletics

Middle School Athletics offers students with varying levels of experience and ability the opportunity to explore, engage, and have fun in competitive team sports.

Newer athletes explore skill building and learning how to enjoy team sports. More experienced and competitive athletes can enroll in team sports that prepare them to later join Varsity teams at the Upper School level.

Our PE program also teaches the importance of fair play, how to be a great teammate, and developing mental strength to navigate challenges.

Sports options at this level include:

Boys and Girls Basketball
Boys and Girls Soccer
Boys and Girls Ultimate Frisbee
Girls Volleyball
Track and Field: Co-ed team
Cross Country
