ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHY Skill development and a balance between participation and increased competition are the primary focus of middle school athletics. The goal is for each student to receive some playing time during each contest and every child is encouraged to join a Wellington athletic team. Coaches and athletes work to create an inclusive and energetic team environment, while thoroughly preparing for the transition to upper school athletics.
JUMP START PROGRAM SPORTS PERFORMANCE TRAINING The Wellington Sports Performance program seeks to inspire character, competition, and commitment while creating improved movement, strength, and speed of the student athletes. The purpose of the Jump Start Program is to improve the overall physical capabilities of the middle school students and establish a foundation for further athletic development. The sessions focus on gross motor skill development. Frequent movements include running, jumping, crawling, and climbing. These movements are enhanced and developed through friendly competition. This leads to a smooth transition to the upper school Sports Performance Training Program.
Sport Offerings A wide variety of sports are offered at Wellington. The teams may fluctuate slightly from year to year based on student interest and participation numbers.
