Among other skills, students will learn how to pass, tackle and set up a scrum. During the second week, students will participate in actual games of rugby. The summer running program is designed to accommodate runners of all abilities and interests from the casual, beginner to the serious, advanced runner. The runner is done on the spacious, picturesque Choate campus and the surrounding neighborhoods and countryside. For those who prefer to tally every mile, there are both an outdoor and an indoor track and wonderful cross country trails.
Games are informal, and coaches often play along with students.
Emphasis is placed on teamwork and having fun, rather than on competition. Soccer is co-ed, and students at all skill levels, including students who have never played before, are welcome. The squash program is designed to be both challenging and exciting for students with all levels of experience in the sport. Students receive instruction from coaches as well as the chance to play in a competitive ladder in the second week. In all aspects of the program, fun is emphasized as well as fundamentals.
