BLUE DOGS Due to COVID restrictions, Blue Dogs didn't compete interscholastically during the fall and winter seasons; however, Rumsey athletes experienced competition and healthy living in a whole new way. During the fall and winter athletic seasons, Rumsey Blue Dogs stayed sharp by participating in a re-imagined athletic program. Coaches designed safe sporting, recreational, artistic, and FUN activities for the community. Students honed their athletic skills against each other on modified sports teams. They explored different avenues of whole-body wellness, such as yoga. They tapped into their creative side in the art studio. They learned to stretch their understanding of their abilities and the importance of maintaining a healthy mindset and lifestyle ...even when it's challenging!
"I think the atypical format pushed kids out of their usual athletic comfort zones. They tried new sports, which arranged them into groups with different people than their typical sports teams would have. We had new ways of doing everything...so new and unique bonds and friendships formed between kids and coaches that otherwise wouldn't have." -Liz Butler, P'20, '23 Assistant Director of Athletics
