The goal of the East Woods Athletic program is to teach sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork and cooperation, as well as basic athletic skill development. Each student receives a firm grounding in the sport they choose to play. They also learn to be both a good winner and a gracious loser. The spirit of competition is the spirit of sportsmanship at East Woods.

Our Kindergarten through Third Graders attend Physical Education classes three times each week. Our Fourth Graders attend Physical Education classes two times each week.

Every Fifth through Eighth Grade student participates in interscholastic athletics during the Fall, Winter and Spring. Fourth Graders are given the option to participate on the Junior Varsity teams. For the most part, Fifth and Sixth Graders are placed on Junior Varsity teams, and Seventh and Eighth are placed on Varsity teams. The emphasis of the Junior Varsity program is to teach each student the skills required for each sport and to develop the concept of team play.

Varsity teams play other schools on a more competitive level. Students continue to learn fundamentals and team play, as well as intermediate and advanced skills. Coaches make every effort to include each team member in every game.

Team Sports offered are:
Fall: Boys and Girls Soccer
Winter: Boys and Girls Basketball, and Ice Hockey
Spring: Boys Baseball and Girls Softball
