Athletics

We compete in Section 2 of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) and participate in the following leagues:. 

• Colonial Council: Varsity and JV Basketball (W), Varsity and JV Lacrosse (S), Swimming & Diving (F), Varsity Tennis (F) 

• Wasaren League: Cross Country (F), Varsity and JV Field Hockey (F), Outdoor Track & Field (S), Varsity and JV Soccer (F), Softball (S), Varsity and JV Volleyball (F)

• Tri County Indoor Track & Field League: Indoor Track & Field (W)

• Independent: Crew (F, W, S)

Our varsity teams generally have an opportunity to participate in sectionals, or post season competition.  Depending on the sport, participation in sectionals may require a certain league record. We may nominate for sectional play in each sport, however, this is not a guarantee. Sectional champions move on to regional competition and state championships.

Our Crew teams participate in local regattas and also when we qualify, regional and national scholastic championships.

All students participate in a movement experience.

Students may satisfy their movement requirement through participation in interscholastic sports teams, physical education classes including PE/sport practicums, aquatics classes, or dance. Some of our movement activities include conditioning, ultimate frisbee, hiking, outdoor education, swimming, table tennis, walking, and yoga.  All students must also successfully pass a swimming proficiency test.

Students who participate in any physical activity at an advanced level or an activity that is not available at Emma Willard may be eligible to receive movement credit through Practicum.

The Athletic Director and Director of Practicum will determine if the activity meets the necessary requirements.
