 | Hutchison’s athletic program promotes responsibility, commitment, sportsmanship, and excellence in individual and team efforts. We believe girls should be encouraged to participate in competitive athletics, and we provide ample opportunities for young female athletes to hone their talents, experience the fellowship of teamwork, and understand the value of good sportsmanship. Each year our athletic department fields many successful teams in five athletic divisions:
Developmental: The developmental athletic program encourages all students to enjoy and explore new talents as they participate in recreational athletics. The program focuses on individual skill development with an emphasis on team play, responsibility, and sportsmanship. Athletes participate in intramural or recreational league play, and coaches develop a rotation of players to ensure participation for all girls.
Middle School: The middle school athletic program is open to girls in fifth* through eighth grade and is designed to prepare student athletes for the more demanding high school programs. Focus is on developing fundamental skills and sportsmanship, while learning the responsibility of being on a team. Coaches are encouraged to develop a rotation of players to facilitate maximum game exposure for each player.
*Hutchison School is firmly committed to finding athletic opportunities for all students. However, some middle school sports may not be open to fifth grade students because of league restrictions.
Freshman: Freshman programs are added in some sports to enhance the skill development of athletes by providing additional game opportunities. Freshman athletes are able to experience high school competition and learn first hand the high level of commitment expected at the junior varsity and varsity levels.
Junior Varsity: The junior varsity level enhances team and individual skills and prepares athletes for the extremely competitive varsity experience. Coaches determine playing time with a dual emphasis on the competitive quality of the experiences and the skill of the players.
Varsity: Skill, commitment, and maturity are the basis for varsity selection. Each girl’s skill level is re-evaluated at the beginning of the season to determine team membership. At this highest level of competition, decisions regarding playing time are made at the discretion of the coaches. The varsity experience is intended to be the culminating high school experience for the highly committed and skilled athlete.
