Athletics

In Bloomfield Hills Schools, we not only build healthy minds, we encourage healthy bodies through athletic participation. This philosophy is instilled at an early age in physical education courses and honed through organized team participation. The playing field is a place to build athletic skills, character, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Physical education begins in kindergarten while team and individual sports begin in middle school and expand in the high school arena. Junior varsity and varsity sports offer all students the opportunity to participate in athletic programs. Self-control, discipline, focus, and concentration are all by-products of involvement in individually-centered sports, like golf, or traditional team sports, like football. Our coaches encourage and develop skills that serve our students well beyond their high school years.

Unique courses and teams:

Equestrian
Figure Skating
Skiing
Cardio and Core Conditioning
Lifetime individual sports
Lacrosse
Badminton

Concussion Protocol

1. A student with a suspected concussion is evaluated by the Athletic Trainer or one of the athletic training interns.

2. If a concussion is found, the student is referred to a physician.

3. The student is given the Concussion Referral Form which highlights symptoms observed and history of the injury. A parent or guardian will be called for transportation home.

4. The Concussion Referral Form is asked to be returned for an official diagnosis, return to play plan and any other accommodations recommended by the physician in order to communicate to others (staff, coaches etc.,)

5. Once the form is returned, the counselors are notified of the students concussion.

6. The athletic department will follow up as more information is received from physicians on follow up visits.
