Middle School Athletics (5-8)
All Hyla students are invited to join sports, and all interested students are accepted. Inclusive sportspersonship is an important part of Hyla school culture and many traditions throughout the year invite students to join in and try something new. At this age, sports are not only a great physical experience, but also important social time for students to practice what they learn in Human Relations. In addition to PE, we currently offer:
Electives (Year Round)
Every elective cycle include several sports-based and physical options, allowing students to try something new, burn off energy, focus on a favorite skill, and have fun. You can click here to read more about Electives. Some of the athletic elective offerings include:
- Rock Climbing
- Hiking
- Mountain Biking
- Yoga
- Zumba
Ultimate (Spring)
Ultimate Frisbee is for everyone—truly. It’s inclusive, fun, and relies heavily on self-awareness, internal mediation, and advocacy—hence it's a natural fit for Hyla, which explains why it has been a beloved school tradition for many years. Every year we welcome students who have never played before as well as seasoned athletes looking to hone their technique.
We welcome ALL local students in grades 5-8 to join in!
