Team Sports

In addition to our physical education program, Vermont Commons School offers interested students the opportunity to play team sports and compete against other small independent schools and in sporting leagues in the local area and Greater New England. Currently, Vermont Commons fields teams in basketball, soccer, ultimate frisbee and volleyball. Typically, a majority of our students are on one or more of our teams in any given year.

All of our teams emphasize sportsmanship, commitment, excellence and inclusion. All of our teams are coed and open to all ages. We do not have “cuts” but team members will be asked to maintain their commitment to the team and uphold the VCS ideals of sportsmanship and fair play. Our team sports typically practice 5-10 hours per week outside of regular school hours.

Sports and team play are an integral aspect of the Vermont Commons community, and we are strong believers in the value of learning how to balance the demands of being a student-athlete.
