ATHLETICS Christopher Spahn, Director of Athletics Tel: (724) 639-8040, E-mail: chris.spahn@kiski.org Kiski School is modeled on an English boarding school system where a vigorous athletic program complements a dynamic academic program, and together form a boy’s mind and character. On the field boys learn to work together, to respect individual differences, when to lead and when to follow. They also learn humility and fair play, and how to win with grace and lose with dignity. In the end the athletic experience enables every boy to develop “a passion to try.” Kiski requires every student to participate in athletics, every season of the year. There are a wide variety of sports offered at Kiski. The goal of the athletic program is to enable every boy to play a sport at his level of ability. A full listing of the sports offered and their seasons is listed below. In the event of a Saturday game or tournament, boarding students will be required to stay overnight at the school. They are allowed to leave for the weekend after the sporting event has concluded. The additional fee for each hockey player this year will be $900.00. We hope this will not deter anyone from playing hockey, but we were forced to raise the fee because of our extended time on the ice. Students who receive financial aid, will also receive the same percentage of aid for the hockey fee. Please contact me with any questions regarding this fee. Each season, sports schedules are mailed home to the families. The Kiski School website (www.kiski.org) will contain sports schedules as well as directions to games. Sports schedules are subject to change due to weather and unforeseen difficulties. Please call the School if you have any questions regarding athletics.
