After School Sports

We are excited to announce that we will be participating in the Metropolitan Philadelphia Athletic Association again for the 24/25 school year. The MPAA provides Green Woods with the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports against a wide range of Philadelphia Charter Schools.

If your student is interested in participating in any sports at GWCS they will need a completed PIAA Physical, GWCS Transportation Waiver and MPAA Waiver before participating in any sport. If your child(ren) has recently had a physical exam the doctor will just need to fill the form out. Completed forms should be turned into Mr. Hunsberger. Linked below are copies of the three forms:

Fall Season: Volleyball (6th-8th) Co-ed Soccer (6th-8th) Cross Country and Running Club (6th-8th)

Fall Season

Running Club and Cross Country

The GWCS Students Run Philly Style Team looks forward to many miles on the road where we can all grow as people and runners. This season, we will challenge ourselves to both set goals and reach them, as well as push ourselves past the boundaries of what we believe we are capable of achieving. You will be surprised at the end of this season how much stronger your students are mentally, physically, and emotionally. And - if they stick with us all year - they will be a Broad Street Run finisher!
