Fieldston Sports is an action-packed day program offering a wide range of ageappropriate sports including, but not limited to, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, flag football, lacrosse, and swimming. We promote sportsmanship, teamwork, and safety while introducing campers to the fundamentals of our many sports. Campers will be grouped by grade; the kindergarten and 1st grade group will be coed while the other grades will be divided into boys and girls groups. A typical day begins at 9am, when everyone meets in the varsity gym for morning meeting and attendance. The day is arranged into six 45-minute sessions, with an hour and half for lunch and free play. Each session focuses on a specific sport, with several different sport stations available. The day ends with ice cream or other snacks at 3:30, and campers can be picked up at 4:00. Transportation is available to and from Ethical Culture in Manhattan for an additonal cost through Exec-You-Van.
