Your Team
Want to try water polo for the first time? Try out for a varsity team in your favorite sport? Or just have fun playing fourths basketball? We offer kids whatever level of challenge they're up for.
Our approach to athletics is to give our students as much challenge as they want, taking into account their individual interests and skill levels. Seventh graders begin with Physical Education, which introduces them to a wide variety of sports, ranging from water polo to strength and conditioning, and may also choose to participate in after school sports. Eighth graders must choose two trimesters of afternoon program (sports or arts), and all Middle Schoolers have the option of trying out for Upper School teams.

If you have questions about our athletic program—or if you would like to schedule a day for your child to come visit —please contact Director of Middle School Admission, Allison Marsland.
Team Spirit
Being part of a larger Upper School means that Middle Schoolers have unique opportunities to play many different sports at all levels. Whether students want to play on our varsity and junior varsity teams—competing against squads from around New England—or learn a sport for the first time, there is a spot for them here. Williston’s athletic program emphasizes teamwork and sportsmanship. Former Middle Schoolers often cite how welcoming upperclassmen were to them on athletic teams.
