The Greensboro Montessori School has many extracurricular
activities which include soccer, volleyball, basketball, and cross
county. Our teams have the full support from faculty and parents.
At our games, many of the parents come to cheer us on. This school
year our soccer team was undefeated, with the amazing scores of
7-0, 7-1, 5-1, and 3-1. Our volleyball team also went undefeated
this year, and we have high hopes for our basketball and cross country
teams.
We play against three other schools. They are B’nai Shalom,
Guilford Day School and New Garden Friends School. There are two
basketball teams. There is a 6th grade team, and a 7th and 8th grade
team. Our 7th and 8th grade basketball team won the championship
last year.
We have very experienced coaches helping us achieve our goals of
team building and, of course, winning a trophy. Our coaches are
Morgan Kratovil (all sports), Jon McLean (soccer), Maria Ibarra-Wong
(volleyball) and Coy Thompson (basketball).
We practice in our gymnasium and out on our soccer field. The gymnasium
is marked for basketball and has full-height hoops. The soccer field
will be marked in 2006 and has full size soccer goals. During cross
country season, we run 2-3 miles everyday on a nearby trail in the
woods. We also run at Bur-mil and Battleground Parks. In the actual
meets we run 1.5 miles.
