Bryn Mawr varsity teams are comprised of very skilled and dedicated athletes who wish to compete at a high level of competition. Many of our varsity participants regularly train out-of-season and play both inside and outside of school. Varsity teams emphasize a significant level of fitness, skill, and commitment, along with a focus on individual improvement and teamwork While winning is not the primary goal, Bryn Mawr aspires to have competitive teams at the varsity level.
All Upper School students are eligible to play at this level. While JV athletics is a primary source for Bryn Mawr's varsity teams, a JV player will not necessarily move to the varsity level of competition. JV squads focus on improving basic skills, while teaching increasingly sophisticated game strategies and techniques. Good sportsmanship, teamwork, and a high fitness level are also emphasized.
Interscholastic sports in Middle School foster the value of teamwork, responsibility, and school spirit, while introducing the demands of training and competition. We encourage students to participate in as many sports as possible during this time of growth and development.
All Middle School students are required to join one team during the 7th and 8th grades. The teams meet Tuesdays-Fridays from 2:40 pm - 3:30 pm, and will practice and play on campus unless otherwise noted (*). Games take place after school hours and on average, teams have 12 competitions, with the exception of the badminton and track teams who do no compete. Dance Company holds a performance at the end of the winter season.
