Lower School Athletics
Active children lead healthier, happier, and more productive lives. Indian Creek believes that our role is to help our students imagine their future, embrace their loftiest dreams, and realize their full potential.
Neuroscience research states that exercise improves mental alertness. Indian Creek keeps students physically active throughout the day with physical education classes, movement, and active lessons. The more our young people exercise the greater their long-term memory, attention, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities.
The Lower School Athletic Department offers a variety of county-sponsored sports and afterschool enrichment programs to girls and boys in grades 1-6. These opportunities will be held afterschool and sometimes on the weekends. Each session includes skills practice, lead-up and small-sided games with an emphasis on teamwork and sportsmanship.

Winter (Basketball) – October 14, 2018

If rosters or coaching positions cannot be filled, you will be notified in advance to allow ample time to register your child in another county program. Please understand that there are a minimum and a maximum number of roster spots allowable so please keep this in mind before making a final commitment.

- A registration fee of $50 will cover all costs associated with the program.
- Sports teams will be based on age/grade level per county regulations. In most cases, we will have combined age/grade level teams.
