Middle School Fitness

Physical activity, recreation and competitive development are vital to a Middle School student's growth. At St. Stephen's, students in grades 6 through 8 are required to participate in athletics or fitness classes on five days of the seven letter day rotation. Students may choose to participate on an athletic team, in a fitness or Devil's Canyon Adventure Program class, or in the Soccer Academy. The school year is divided into three seasons with more than 15 different athletics options offered throughout the year. The Middle School athletics program operates under a no-cut policy, and coaches support all levels of athletic ability, from novice to expert.

Fitness classes introduce traditional sport offerings in a non-competitive environment and expose students to select non-traditional activities and games, such as ultimate Frisbee, yoga or pickleball. In addition, the Devil's Canyon Adventure Program utilizes more than 200 acres of campus trails for hiking and competitive mountain biking. All students are required to participate in the fitness program.
