When can my child begin playing a sport at SSFS?
Where do I find the game and transportation schedule for my child’s team?
Team schedules can be found on the School website under Athletics > Teams and Schedules. Select the Upper School or Middle School tab, then click your child’s team. Double-clicking on an individual game in the schedule provides additional details about game time, location, transportation, and a link to directions if away. Please keep in mind that return times listed are estimates only. Team schedules are updated seasonally. All changes due to weather are typically decided by noon of the day of the game; changes are then posted online, and communicated to team members and parents/guardians via email.
