Athletics
The Athletic program is a vital component of life at OVS. We believe that physical fitness is essential to the overall health and vitality of our students, as well as the development of character, teamwork, and other life skills. Primary and elementary students participate in Physical Education classes multiple times per week as part of the curriculum. OVS middle and high school students participate in athletics each season. They can choose from a range of sports options in the fall, winter, and spring. All students take advantage of sports facilities on each campus, including soccer fields, swimming pools, tennis courts, basketball courts and equestrian facilities.
Middle School
Middle School students, grades 6-8, have the opportunity to participate in seasonal interscholastic soccer, volleyball, basketball, and flag football. Students find that contributing to a team teaches them about sportsmanship, communication, responsibility, and friendship. OVS competes against other schools in the Ventura and Santa Barbara region. Games are typically played on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
