Physical Education

FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADE
Physical education class is required for all fifth and sixth grade students and is included during the school day. The Physical Education program strives to provide equitable opportunity to each student in developing different skill sets and enhancing fitness levels. Through a variety of activities, each student will be exposed to a diverse learning experience while understanding the value of maintaining an active lifestyle. Each unit and activity is designed to foster an environment where the student will build upon their self-confidence, critical thinking skills, cooperative skills, and appreciation and respect for individual differences. 
As a part of this wide range of activities, our program includes introductory lessons to the sports offered in our Middle School Athletics program, which helps our students to make an educated choice when entering seventh and eighth grade.   

SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE 
Athletics at Masters is an integral part of our tradition and commitment to educating the whole child. Our seventh and eighth grade athletic offerings are integrated within our Physical Education program and requirements. Our goal is to develop our athletes through a balanced approach of challenging programs. We offer a wide variety of activities so that our students can learn life lessons through sports, and experience the exhilaration of competition and teamwork.
 
Athletics brings our community together and our students create strong relationships while playing alongside their friends and classmates. Our teams strive to win but more importantly we strive to create an atmosphere that embraces the many benefits athletics has to offer. Guided by a positive learning environment our athletes develop their leadership skills, self-discipline, and a sense of responsibility, values through sportsmanship, athletic skills, and a sense of school spirit. 
 
Our campus athletic facilities include five expansive playing fields for lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, baseball, a competition track and nine tennis courts, plus the Fonseca Center, a 75,000 sq. ft. Athletics and Arts Center, which features state-of-the-art facilities for basketball, volleyball, squash, swimming and fencing.
 
Our programs compete within the Fairchester Athletic Association (FAA), which is comprised of private schools throughout the Connecticut and Westchester County area. 
  
Every seventh and eighth grade student participates within our athletic program as part of their school day.

Each team practices everyday Monday through Friday from  2:30-3:30 p.m. Games will take place during the week and game times can be scheduled as late as 4:30 p.m., so please be sure to check the schedule. Depending on the sport one can expect to play up to 12 games per season, however our goal is one game a week when the schedule starts up.
