GO GRIZZLIES! At Brockton, we know the importance of balance. Our students are encouraged to try new things and make time for the activities they enjoy. Joining a team is a fantastic way for students to have a break from their studies, while also learning new skills, making friends, practicing teamwork, and developing leadership skills. Brockton School is proud to offer over 32 athletic teams throughout the year. This booklet provides an overview of the activities available for the Winter semester. Please note that while we do our best to keep schedules consistent, some details may be subject to change based on interest, athletic facility availability, etc. We believe in inclusive participation across our athletic programs. Students who try out for a team will be placed on a team, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to grow, develop, and contribute.
