At Seattle Hebrew Academy, we believe in the power of sports to enrich the lives of our students. Our athletic programs, known as the Stars of David, are designed for full participation, ensuring that every player has the opportunity to develop their skills and character on and off the field.
Our Middle School Sports teams maximize games and practices to foster growth and player development. We expect all players to attend every practice and game, barring non-discretionary, religious or family events. We aim to develop well-rounded student-athletes who both excel academically and demonstrate strong Jewish leadership in and outside of SHA. To maintain the integrity and high standards of our program, we discourage partial participation. We believe that a full commitment to our teams is essential for success and avoids frustration for students, parents, and coaches.
The Lower School sports program is more introductory focusing on fun, teamwork, and fundamentals.
Our athletic programs serve to develop the complete Student Athlete and prepare them to play at any of the highschool’s locally here both private and public. Students must achieve high academic standards while playing sports and are expected to be leaders in and outside of school as well.
All our sports programs are no-cut meaning anyone who wants to play regardless of previous experience level we have a level for you! All MS players and parents must sign the parent and player agreement and medical consent form before the season starts. At least one parent must also attend the preseason meeting held before the start of the school year.
