Athletics

Given Pine Cobble’s 18+ acre campus, we make great use of the space available to us by engaging in an array of athletic activities at all grade levels. In Early Childhood (Beginners – Kindergarten), students are introduced to a variety of movements and exercises that are gamified for both their physical and cognitive development. Within Lower School (Grades 1 – 3), students are presented with collaborative athletic tasks and scenarios to cultivate spatial awareness, kinesthetic knowledge, teamwork, and self confidence. As students age into Intermediate School (Grades 4 – 6), they are coached into learning different field based sports to enhance their coordination, dexterity, resilience, and willpower in preparation for them to compete in their latter years at Pine Cobble.

In addition to daily physical activity and teambuilding, Pine Cobble also offers the following:

Competitive Sports
Once students enter Upper School (Grades 7 – 8), they become part of Pine Cobble’s competitive traveling team for the fall and spring seasons.

  • Each season, competitive sports are determined by student interest along with the offerings of nearby competing schools
  • Available sports range from soccer, to ultimate frisbee, and more
  • Each competitive season concludes with a banquet for student participants and their families

Mountain Day
Every fall, students assemble by division to journey along different local trails for a community bonding experience.

  • Early Childhood (Beginners – Kindergarten) hike the lower loop of the Hopkins Memorial Forest
  • Lower School (Grades 1 – 3) hike the full figure eight trail of the Hopkins Memorial Forest
  • The Intermediate (Grades 4 – 6) and Upper Schools (7 – 8) hike the full Pine Cobble Trail to its peak

Each winter, students have the option to participate in one of three activities: ice skating, cross country skiing, and downhill skiing.
