Our varsity teams have been very competitive and successful over the years. In 1995, our girls' varsity softball team won the Western New England championship. In 1996, our boys' basketball team won the league championship. In 1997, both boys' and girls' Individual Champion for the Connecticut Independent School Athletic Conference are Watkinson runners. Middle school athletics are designed to allow every athlete an opportunity for maximum participation while learning the basic skills and fundamentals of the sport.
Sportsmanship is a high priority with all our teams.
Participation in our non-competitive offerings challenge students to set and accomplish personal goals. Our emphasis is to develop an appreciation for exercise and lifelong habits for healthy living. Our goal is to improve a student's level of physical fitness and to increase awareness and knowledge of the human body. In the classroom, students learn about cardiac and aerobic fitness, blood pressure, nutrition, obesity, and other topics that are relevant to healthy living. Students also participate in the Presidential Physical Fitness Test during the year to assess their level of physical fitness.
