A full time gym teacher provides students of all grade levels with weekly physical education classes.  In addition, many students participate in our after-school sports programs.  Parent and teacher volunteers ensure that the children learn good sportsmanship as well as the skills necessary to play. Basketball – Boys and girls may participate in the competitive Catholic Youth Organization basketball league beginning in fifth grade with our Tyros and Debs teams.  Students in seventh and eighth grades may move on to the two varsity teams. Cheerleading – Incarnation girls bring school spirit and style to our basketball games.  Cheerleaders on the squad practice regularly and also perform at local civic events such as the annual Coogan’s race and the opening of the Children’s Hospital at New York - Presbyterian Hospital. Soccer – Incarnation has a comprehensive soccer program which teaches students the joys and challenges of the sport.  Through COSA (Carlos Oliveira Soccer Academy), students in grades 3-6 participate weekly in basic soccer skills.  Our goal is to enter a team in the CYO sports league in the 2010-2011 academic year. Track – Students in third through eighth grade train twice a week at the National Track & Field Hall of Fame Armory Track. Track is organized through the Archdiocesan Citytrack program Sports Explorers Program: Through New York Cares, the Sports Explorers Program strives to create extracurricular opportunities for the younger grades.  The overall goal of the program is to keep children active and have fun, rather than build sport-specific skills.
