Athletics

The Lippman School’s competitive athletic program is for middle school students (grades 5 through 8). Our program includes Boys and Girls Basketball teams, as well as
co-ed Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee teams. All the teams are non-tryout based and available to the middle school population, regardless of ability level. In the past year, over 80% of middle school students participated in at least one of the sports offered.
 
Students, of all grades at The Lippman School, are taught basic skills, concepts and strategies of games, and competitive sports while learning to demonstrate respect and good sportsmanship on and off the playing field. Participation on an athletic team provides students with skills such as: 
  • Honesty
  • Adherence to rules
  • Teamwork
  • Determination
  • Fair play
  • Respect
Besides the obvious benefits of increased health and physical activity, participation in a competitive team environment allows for development of life skills such as aptitude for leadership, coping with wins and losses and has also been shown to be a stepping stone for students to become adults who engage in their communities. The social and
educational benefits that accompany participating in a sport, significantly impacts the lives of the students and will bode well for a more positive, productive future.
