 Wooster’s athletic program, which includes 33
interscholastic teams, has been recognized as one of the most successful Class D
programs in all of New England. In addition to having numerous top ranked teams
(including 40 league titles and 35 bids to the prestigious New England
tournament), we have been honored with an astounding 37 sportsmanship awards in
recent years. Our Middle School program has enjoyed tremendous growth in recent
years. We currently offer a total of 13 interscholastic teams in the following
sports: soccer, volleyball, basketball, tennis, lacrosse, and ultimate frisbee.
We have created a program that clearly carries out the mission of the school and
benefits everyone involved.
What
separates our program from most is our proven ability to not only combine, but
sustain, both a competitive edge and a focus on sportsmanship. One of the
reasons for our successes is that our coaching staff is mostly comprised of our
faculty members, providing a well balanced approach to coaching and
education. Our coaches recognize
that the athletic program provides a powerful forum for discovering and creating
"teaching moments." It is through these moments that we foster respect,
confidence, teamwork, community, and self-esteem. The more "teaching moments" that we
create, the further we develop the skills and character of our student athletes,
and this is what will help them throughout the rest of their lives.
Wooster
values the commitment of its athletes and has recently upgraded the athletic
facilities.In addition to our rolling 127 acre campus, we have four soccer
fields, two volleyball courts, a cross country trail, three gymnasiums (with
three basketball courts), six tennis courts, two lacrosse fields, a softball
field, a baseball field, and a state of the art fitness center. Our newest gymnasium was built three
years ago as a donation from Steve Young’s Forever Young
Foundation.
Wooster
provides for the health of its athletes through its Athletic Training Program,
run by Certified Athletic Trainer Ron Hutchins.
