Winter Athletics

Every Middle School girl will have 2 periods each week of Wellness and Movement in her academic schedule. One class will be asynchronous and one will be synchronous. These classes will continue to focus on overall strength building, mobility techniques, and cardio exercises. In addition, a yoga class is offered on Mondays after school. Yoga is an opportunity for the girls to practice balance and flexibility for both their minds and bodies. Yoga on Mondays is not a requirement.

Wellness and Movement asynchronous classes will be available on the WaM Google classroom, and links to synchronous classes will be available on your daughter’s class schedule. The Zoom link for after school yoga is also on your daughter's schedule.

When learning in-person, every Middle School girl will have 2 to 3 periods of activity in her schedule. These classes will focus on physical activity, play, and movement. Our hope is on Mondays or Tuesdays after school, we will offer sport-specific skills and fitness-based practice. There will be no contests against other schools. Signing up for an after school winter sport is not a requirement.

Basketball, Ice Hockey, and Fitness Class

Sport-specific practices will be held on Wednesdays.

The daily practice schedule can be found here.

Upper School students will have 3 offerings a week during distance learning. On Tuesdays and Thursdays fitness classes will be offered from 4-5 p.m. On Wednesdays yoga will be offered from 4-5 p.m. The fitness classes will continue to focus on high intensity interval training, building strength and endurance, and core stability and mobility movements. Yoga will be an opportunity for girls to practice balance and flexibility for both their minds and bodies. 

Zoom links for fitness and yoga classes will be emailed to all Upper School students from the instructor each week. 

The Eastern Independent League (EIL) Heads of Schools and Athletic Directors have agreed unanimously that there will be no official EIL schedule or championships for the Winter 2020-21 season. Our hope is that during in-person learning, we will offer skill and fitness based practices. There will also be two fitness classes offered during the same time slot of sports. Information will be sent to the girls with the schedule and directions for signing up for fitness. There will be no contests against other schools. Signing up for an after school sport is not a requirement.

Yes. Transportation will be provided by bus for basketball and ice hockey practices. Buses will have limited space, windows will be open, and masks will be required while on the bus. We will adhere to all transportation state guidelines. Students will be asked to walk to basketball courts that are less than a mile from the school. Coaches will accompany students to and from practice locations. Pick up for all sports will be at NCDS.

Practice will be canceled if there is inclement weather predicted. If a practice is canceled, it will be posted on the school's homepage by 1:30 p.m. that day.
