Athletics

To foster physical fitness, sportsmanship, and teamwork, The Woodhall School has an athletic and activities program six days a week in which all students participate. The program is intended to provide students with the physical activity necessary to maintain a sound mind and spirit. All athletes must follow The Woodhall School Athletic Code of Conduct. The school offers both competitive interscholastic sports and intramurals. Drama is considered part of the athletics and activities program.

The varsity teams compete in games, meets, and tournaments with neighboring independent schools. Additionally, Outdoor Challenge - which focuses on hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, and survival skills - has placed in white water canoe races on the Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers.

The Drama program, known as The Woodhall Players, stages two dramatic productions a year in The Abigail J. Woodhall Performing Arts Center. Recent productions include Neil Simon's Biloxi Blues, Steve Martin's Picasso at the Lapin Agile, Noël Coward's Ways and Means, Charles Ludlam's Stage Blood, Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter, and Martin Epstein's How Gertrude Stormed the Philosopher's Club. Also, The Woodhall Players participate in the Seven Angels Theatre Halo Awards, a regional secondary school drama competition. Woodhall has received over a dozen Halo Nominations and Awards, including "Best Play of 2008" for its production of Stage Blood.
