Athletics at Sant Bani School
Athletics are an integral part of the co-curricular experience at Sant Bani School. Our philosophy is simple: we want our student-athletes to have fun and build lifelong skills while finding joy in the sport. Everyone who wants to be on the team, makes the team – there are no cuts at Sant Bani School, and everyone can expect to participate in every contest. Practices are structured to give everyone equal developmental opportunities, whether they are trying a new sport for the first time or they are an experienced participant. Emphasis is placed on individual skill development, tactics and game awareness, teamwork, sportsmanship, and having fun. All SBS sports teams are co-ed.
Sant Bani School offers the following interscholastic sports:
Fall: Cross Country, Soccer
Winter: Rock Climbing
Spring: Track and Field
What to Expect From SBS Sports:
- Students may begin participating in interscholastic sports in 5th grade. All Middle School students must play at least one sport each year, per-state regulations.
- Practices and games take place after school, Monday through Thursday. Practices conclude in time for students who utilize the bus service to take the bus home.
- There is a small rock climbing wall on campus where team members can practice certain skills. The climbing team also trains at New Hampshire Climbing and Fitness in Concord, which is where all competitions take place.
- There are no weekend commitments for the soccer or track and field teams. The cross country team has one Saturday meet, the season-ending State Championship. All rock climbing competitions are on Saturday afternoons.
- Teams travel to all away games in school-provided transportation.
- Students who wish to play a club sport concurrently with a sport at SBS typically may do so; conversations with the coach are encouraged to ensure schedules will not conflict.
