Sports at Pennfield are fun! Whether it is learning for the first time or mastering a sport, every student has the opportunity, starting in the Third Grade, to get into the game, get onto the court or take a few laps around the cross country course. We provide an atmosphere of acceptance that gives each child a chance to be a contributing part of a team.
Starting in the Third Grade and going through the Fifth Grade, students can take part in organized intramural sports after school. Each month a different sport is introduced, providing the chance to hone skills and explore new activities. Emphasis is on fun and learning good sportsmanship. In the Fourth Grade students can choose to join the Upper School's Cross Country team.
When students reach the Upper School, in the Sixth Grade, they can choose to play against other schools in the region on either an A or B team. The A teams tend to be more competitive and are for students who have played a specific sport in the past or who show special talent. B teams are for students who wish to play less competitively or who wish to learn a new sport. Parents often volunteer to help coach on teams where they have interest and/or expertise. Upper School students are encouraged to play at least one organized team sport after school annually. Many students choose to participate on a team all three seasons!
