Athletics
Training the Mind and Body…
Cascadilla School is committed to the development of mind, body, and spirit. In that vein, the athletics program is designed to provide opportunities for various interests and abilities throughout the academic year. A qualified staff member or coach supports each sport and activity to provide a positive experience and room to improve physical skills and enhance personal growth.
The Hippogriffs
The Cascadilla Equestrian Club, or Hippogriffs, rides at If Only Farm, one of the premier equestrian centers in the area. The facility includes two indoor rings, two outdoor rings, and a cross-country course. Boarding is also available. Students can get private and semi-private lessons, attend competitions and shows, and learn horsemanship skills.
Gryphons Soccer
The Gryphons Soccer Team ranges from a club sport to interscholastic varsity sports depending on student interest and team size. Throughout the year, the Gryphons will participate in various competitive leagues — both outdoor and indoor — which include the Cayuga League of Independent Schools, the U19 League, the LIFA Premier League, the IUSC Coed League, as well as various regional and local high school tournaments.
Ski Club
Cascadilla Ski Club takes weekly trips to Greek Peak Mountain Resort, only a half-hour away from the school. There, students can ski and snowboard on over 200 skiable acres. There are terrain parks for snowboarders and slopes ranging from beginner to expert.
