To ensure a well-rounded curriculum that includes not only academics
but also physical activity. Greenwood balances the academic efforts
of our class day with a variety of seasonal sports activities and
physical education, including:
- Soccer
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Lacrosse
- Mountain biking
- Skateboarding
- In-line skating
- Rollerblading
- Martial arts
- Cross-country skiing
- Downhill skiing and snowboarding
It is a requirement that students participate in
some form of daily physical exercise. Competitive sports are taught
as a means of increasing specific skills and coordination.
It is challenging to field a team against schools
many times our size. Nevertheless, through the years Greenwood teams
have earned creditable standing and several league championship
soccer trophies.
The Greenwood campus includes a recreation center/gymnasium,
game field, and an indoor climbing wall. Organized activities include:
- Cooperative games
- Rock climbing
- Sledding
- Ice skating
- Canoeing
- Fishing and ice fishing
- Hiking
- Camping
Greenwood encourages a non-competitive atmosphere,
which promotes physical activity, enabling athletic students to
advance, and facilitating a transition to team sports for students
who are fearful of physical challenges.
