Dear Sixth and Seventh Grade Parents and Students,
It is time to prepare for the upcoming athletic seasons. Please review the information carefully. The attached form must be signed and returned to Kathy Hudson, Athletic Director, by Monday May 5, 2008.
The Mission of the Georgetown Day Middle School Athletic Program is to provide all students the opportunity to represent the school and compete interscholastically in a wide variety of sports. It is our hope that each student athlete will experience the challenges and triumphs that are unique to sport. GDS athletics provide a supportive atmosphere in which coaches challenge the intellectual and physical abilities of our student athletes, foster strength of character, and encourage concern for others. It is our goal that the athletic experience of each student will be framed within a context that instills self-discipline, dedication, pride in performance, respect for others, and a lifelong love of sport.
Please take the time to sit down with your son or daughter to discuss the options for each season. When making your choices please keep the following in mind.
- The schedules are put together based on the number of students signed up for each sport.
- Pick-up times from practices vary from sport to sport.
- If signing up for a competitive sport, the pick-up time from games will be between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm.
- All indicated pick-up times will be from the Middle School.
- Each season except the spring, a non-competitive sport is offered.
- Athletics are part of the school curriculum and school day. Students are graded on participation, effort and ability.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to give me a call at 202-274-3226.
Best Regards,
Kathy Hudson
Athletic Director
