ATHLETICS
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE MADE OF. SO DO WE.
Garrison Forest’s athletic program offers numerous opportunities
for you to compete and show your mettle. An array of sports,
including dance and nationally recognized riding and polo
programs, and different team levels (varsity, junior varsity and
third team) mean that you can find a sport you love and plenty
more you want to try.

YOUR COACH EXPECTS A LOT
FROM YOU. YOU EXPECT EVEN MORE.
Indoor Soccer
As a Grizzly—the mascot for all GFS teams—
you do much more than compete. We know
that what makes a Grizzly goes well beyond
how well she plays; it’s also how she handles
the lessons learned through competition.
You discover how resilient you are and how
far down the field your confidence carries
you. You learn that working hard and
working together go hand-in-hand. And you
understand what it means to be responsible
on and off the playing field, arena and
court and why sportsmanship is more
important than the scoreboard. Golf
