Philosophy

The Elementary athletics program at Grand Traverse Academy is open to students in grades 3-6. It provides a developmental, competitive and instructional framework as an extension of our academics and character education. Participants will be taught the fundamentals of each sport, as well as good sportsmanship, fair play and team spirit. A healthy understanding of competition will be developed, but winning is not the number one priority.

Prior to the beginning of a sport's season, parents of students in the eligible grades will receive an informational email, along with registration information. Once the schedule is set, practices and events will be added to the appropriate calendar.

To register your child for an Elementary sport once the season is announced, please complete the Elementary Registration Form and return it to the Athletics Office, along with the corresponding fee. For your convenience, the fee may also be paid online using the payment link at right.

Questions may be directed to Mrs. Alejandro, athletics director, at alejandros@mygta.us.
