Athletics

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.
