Hi I was admitted for 10th grade at Andover this year and I was wondering if there’s a requirement for sports. I know Taft’s was 1/term, however, I’m not sure of Andover’s. Also, I’ve played field hockey for 2 years now but stopped for 2 years because of an injury. Would joining at PA be bad since the team is probably very good there?
Hey @rachel7292 , congratulations! Andover does have sports requirements. They also have a special PE course you will be required to take this coming year. As for Field Hockey, their team has been very strong. There are other sports that have JV teams and/or are no cut, so that might be a better fit. They also offer PE courses (like weights in the gym, etc.) and Community Service in lieu of sports.You could try something brand new, for instance, like crew, too. Joining a team is a way to meet classmates and have a “friend group” after practice at the dining hall until you find your true peeps.
