Athletics Fall 2023

Season 23-24’s athletic tryouts are off to a great start, boasting a substantial number of registrations—over 2,150 students from grades 3 to 12 have enthusiastically joined the action on both campuses. Excitingly, we’ve expanded our diverse range of programs to include three new sports: tennis, pickleball, and golf. This addition aims to capture the interest of even more students and inspire them to proudly sport the green and white colors!

To ensure a fair and thorough selection process, a grading scale was implemented. This meticulous approach enabled our dedicated coaches to handpick a commendable 1,624 student-athletes who will proudly represent the IC teams. Impressively, this accounts for a 75.5% acceptance rate across a whopping 84 sports teams—a testament to the incredible talent and dedication showcased by our participants.
