Athletics at Brookwood
Brookwood Sports
 In the 7th and 8th grades, we move from a physical education program to a developmentally appropriate athletic program. We require our students to play either in our interscholastic or our intramural athletic program. By this time, students have been exposed to all sports offerings, enabling them to make informed and comfortable sports choices. In our interscholastic program, we provide two levels (varsity and junior varsity) of competition, each with its own guiding philosophy. Students go through an extensive tryout period at the start of each season. Our varsity teams play a very competitive schedule primarily against high school junior varsity teams. Although winning is an acknowledged priority at the varsity level, we also overtly emphasize teamwork and sportsmanship. Although everyone plays, we do not require equal playing time at the varsity level. At the junior varsity level, our teams play a middle school schedule; the players get more-or-less equal playing time, and the emphasis is on skill and strategy development. Although we are not able to offer everyone’s sport of choice at Brookwood, we do want to honor their interests, so we seasonally provide a sports option which allows a student to both fulfill his or her sports requirement and to leave at the regular dismissal time each day.
