Athletics

TJ offers a range of intramural and interscholastic opportunities. Students hoping to exercise in a noncompetitive environment and those who are seeking varsity competition will find choices that appeal to them.

Co-ed intramural sports meet three days a week for 45 minutes at a time. In recent years, offerings have included:
• tennis
• yoga/pilates
• tai chi
• weight lifting
• walking

Varsity sports meet four days a week for hour-long practices. The teams compete against other schools our size, both in regular games and weekend tournaments. TJ offers three varsity sports for both boys and girls :
• soccer
• basketball
• volleyball

All students participate in the athletic program. Occasionally, however, a student may practice a sport that TJ doesn't offer (like swimming, baseball, or karate). In such cases, TJ's flexible afternoon schedule allows students to pursue outside athletic interests in place of our own offerings.
