Most teams will practice and or play games 3 or 4 days per week

All Softball and Soccer games start at 4PM. JVB Softball is 1 1/4 hours and all other Softball games are 1 1/2 hours.

Soccer, Basketkall and Volleyball games last one hour.

Games usually start at 4 but may go as late as 7

There are 4 sports seasons each year, 3 of the 4 is considered full time

 

Because The Girls' Middle School is committed to inclusion and participation, all competitive sports are open to any girl who commits to playing. We have no tryouts or cuts for JVB and the VB teams. Girls must try out to play on either the JVA or VA teams. To accommodate the range of skill levels and abilities, we field multiple teams for all sports, including Varsity and Junior Varsity levels.
