As a direct outgrowth and extension of the regular physical education program at Griswold School, the Noontime Sports Program has become an integral part of the school's total educational process. During the course of the school year, seven athletic activities are offered on a voluntary basis to fourth and fifth grade students. This program provides students a chance to progress socially and to build leadership, and self-discipline qualities.
Participation is based upon the completion of classroom assignments and proper school conduct.
Team organization concepts are left to individual teams throughout each activity along with developing the understanding of various scheduling methods. Although the emphasis on winning is limited, champions are determined in each league. Students names are posted on the sports bulletin board and recognized with certificates at the annual awards assembly in June. Activities include soccer, indoor soccer, team handball, basketball, volleyball, floor hockey and bowling.
