KENT SCHOOL ATHLETICS
Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle
Designed to foster a competitive and age-appropriate atmosphere, the inter-scholastic athletics program promotes physical fitness, good sportsmanship, skill development and personal responsibility. While students are encouraged to set individual goals, the school’s primary goals for every child are to contribute to the team and to have fun.
Students in grades five through eight may participate in Kent School’s interscholastic sports program. Students may participate in co-ed soccer, co-ed field hockey, girls’ basketball, boys’ basketball, girls’ lacrosse and boys’ lacrosse. Basketball season is open for fifth graders to practice only, as games are limited to sixth through eighth graders; however fifth graders are encouraged to watch the games with parental supervision.
