Real Talk: Sports

“I enjoy playing soccer the most. I played competitive soccer my whole life and although I miss some aspects of it, being able to play against boys has been very fun (it’s a co-ed team). Also the coach has made me fall in love with the sport all over again. It became fun again instead of a more stressful super competitive atmosphere.” – Pearl ’22

“Outdoor Leadership, Soccer, and FRSH (Fitness, Running, Surfing, & Hiking). All of these sports/activities allow you to get outside, and either exercise or enjoy Midland’s property, which is one of my favorite things to do.” – Melia ’21

“I have played varsity volleyball at Midland for all four years. Before coming here, I played club and was a benchwarmer almost the whole season. Coming to Midland, I have gotten a lot more playing time, and also gotten a lot better over the years. I have tons of fun teaching younger students how to play, as well as learning myself.” – Maisy ’20

“Volleyball and cross country are the sports I enjoy the most. The team spirit is super positive and fun, even if we don’t always win.” – Rabbit ’22

“Basketball and Horsemanship are by far my favorite sports; I love working with our team, and it is so much fun to develop those friendships and get your hands in a game once in a while. Horses is always fun, given the interaction with the horses, and the bonds you form with them.” – Gillian ’23

“I love farm because it’s a calm activity that allows me to contribute to the community through a very essential way, with food.” – Charlotte ’22

“The horse program!!! I had been jumping horses for about seven years before I came to Midland, and I felt like I fell right in to the horse people community. I’ve learned so much about horse behavior in the short time I’ve been at Midland, and I hope to bring my horse down soon.” – Alison ’24
