SUPPORT THE BEARS!!
 
NGFS' athletics program begins in 5th grade.  Students from 5th through 8th grade have the opportunity to play 5 different sports for the NGFS team that plays in the Independent School League, consisting of NGFS and 4 other schools.  The sports are soccer, flag football, volleyball, basketball and cross country.  Teams in this league are co-ed and the emphasis is on participation.  Every student who wants to be play a sport is on the team.   Approximately 70% of our 5th-8th graders participate in at least one sport each year.
 
NGFS also offers a multitude of varsity sports.  Currently the school has boys and girls cross country, volleyball, girls and boys basketball, girls soccer and golf--with the goal of adding sports as interest allows.  Students from 7th through 12 grade can participate on these varsity teams.  At this level, there is more emphasis on competition.  However the primary goals are to learn teamwork, sportsmanship and other lessons that can be used in later life.  We attempt to have a no-cut rule for the varsity teams, believing any student committed to a sport should have the opportunity to be on a team.
