Fayerweather offers interscholastic sports each season for students in grades 5-8. We field both boys and girls Soccer teams in the fall, Basketball in the winter and a coed Ultimate Frisbee team in the spring. Each team practices two times a week after school from 3:15-4:30 walking to neighboring Cambridge fields in the fall and spring. Weekly games are played against a wide variety of other independent schools in the greater Boston area.

  The overarching goal of the interscholastic sports program is to encourage healthy competition for both mind and body, help develop athletic skill and physical fitness, and provide a safe arena for emotional growth and maturity. Middle school athletics is not about winning and losing and process is far more valued than product. The primary goals revolve around providing young people with valuable experiences that transcend the athletic field and encourage positive growth and experience.
