Walker's Athletics Walker's Athletics Interscholastic Athletics Physical activity is an important component in a balanced life, and Walker's provides lots of opportunities to participate in the athletics program. Every afternoon students move from the classroom onto the athletic fields, into the dance studio, or into the riding ring to meet their athletic requirement. Each sport season students will select an athletic offering, and at least once during the year each student will become a member of an interscholastic team. Interscholastic competition provides opportunities for risk-taking, personal challenge, and school pride.
Athletes learn commitment and self-discipline as part of a team striving toward a common goal.
The dedicated athlete will find Walker's a place where she can excel as a team leader and leave her mark as a skilled sportswoman. While athletic activities such as Outdoor Adventure and Personal Fitness are designed to provide an opportunity to learn new skills and improve fitness, becoming a member of an athletic team requires more discipline and commitment. Members of Walker's sport teams represent the school in both the Connecticut Independent School Athletic Conference and the Girls' School League. Varsity and JV teams practice four days a week with games on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Varsity teams offer proficient athletes an opportunity to hone their skills in challenging competition and are open to selected students.
