Middle Upper Athletics

Briarwood's athletic program allows students of any skill the opportunity to participate in the athletic program. 

There are no tryouts.  Students who will commit to attending practices and following the rules of the Athletic Program will be a part of the team.  Briarwood students enjoy the same camaraderie, increased self-esteem, sense of belonging and accomplishments that students receive from being involved in sports.

Our coaches teach our students to develop strategies to manage the emotional challenges of competition in order to preserve the fun and positive contributions that sports can make to character development.

Briarwood coaches are also classroom teachers.  Therefore, the mission of the school is easily incorporated into our approach to each sport.  

Teaching the skills of the sport and the rules of the game is an ongoing objective since we are teaching the game to some of our athletes for the first time.  We also see that this continuous process allows our teams, as well as individual students, to bring to each game, both a better understanding of the game and a sense of fair play.

"Our students learn to honor the game. Win or lose, the ability to participate is a privilege. Just as we teach to the whole child in the classroom, our coaches are models and teachers of the athlete on the court and field. Along with skills and rules, the athletic department endorses sportsmanship, education, dependability and commitment to the team and all competitors."
