To attain the perfect balance between brains and brawn, the athletic program involves everyone from the huskiest male senior down to the tiniest seventh grader. On Scarsdale's agenda are fourteen different sports. Boys participate in football, cross country, won't hurt! wrestling, track, soccer, basketball, baseball, and tennis, Girls take part in field hockey,la crosse, speedball, volleyball, basketball, softball, archery, and tennis. The health program is also important. Students adorned with slings and head bandages are not the obiect of the faculty's wrath but are merely participating in the required first aid course.
