Boys and Girls Basketball

Boys’ and girls’ middle school and varsity teams, begin practices in early November. These teams will be participating in the VACA Conference.

Thomas Road League

This winter New Covenant will offer several Junior Gryphons’ basketball teams for boys and girls in grades 4-6 to participate in the Thomas Road league. The season runs from January through early March, and games are typically on Saturday morning’s with one practice a week. Students pay a small fee for participation and the team is coached by a volunteer parent.

Spring LAX & Soccer

In the spring we will continue with our boy’s varsity lacrosse program (grades 9-12) and our girl’s varsity soccer program (grades 6-12).

Middle school boys will start ourLAX program with 2 practices a week and schedule 8 to 10 local games. This “short” season will be determined by interest, and will share time with soccer. We’ll maintain our soccer program but reduce it to 2 practices a week with a schedule of only 8 to 10 local games and finish the season with a one day tournament. This format is what travel clubs follow (2 practices a week). It is my desire that if our students are already desiring and willing to participate in two sports during a season, that they would have the opportunity to do it here, so that we could enhance our programs and culture. This format would prove less costly and time consuming for families. Students would be able to participate in both sports without one conflicting with the other; practices and games would take place on alternative days.

As an additional help to communicate our athletic schedule more effectively, we will put all our athletic game schedules by season on our website as they come available. This page will be updated immediately when the information changes.
