Our Mission
Kentucky Country Day School’s offers after-school programs that improve
the lives of children by nurturing their minds, bodies, and spirits through
programs that incorporate independent learning, academics, and enrichment activities.
After-school programs provide appropriately structured activities in the hours following the school day. These activities establish opportunities for empowerment and skill building; development of sound character and positive social norms; and integration of family, school and community supports—all in an environment supervised by caring adult role models.
Instructors

organizations.

Mission
The mission of KCD's Lower School Intramural Program is to provide young children with an introduction to a variety of sports within KCD’s comfortable, supportive, and convenient environment. We provide a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience for all of our players, regardless of ability. We emphasize the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and respect for one another and for the sports themselves while promoting self-confidence, physical fitness, and Bearcat pride. We instill in our players the value of healthy competition and the understanding that both winning and losing are part of this experience, each being vital to the growth and development of a good sportsperson. Above all, we want every player to have fun because fun is an essential part of learning.
Coaches
Instruction comes from a variety of sources: KCD varsity coaches, dedicated
parents, and KCD varsity athletes. All our intramural coaches exhibit patience,
caring, and athletic competence. Parents who are interested in coaching or
other duties are encouraged to contact Intramural Director Cassandra
Payne.
Fees
Fees cover expenses such as equipment, coaches, clinics from outside sources,
trophies, and t-shirts. These fees also help the school to make various improvements
without necessitating an increase in tuition.
All fees must be paid prior to start of each intramural sport.
Times
Sports run for six weeks and generally involve two hours of instruction and/or
games per week. Most sports take place on weekdays following after-school
programs, from 4:30–5:30 p.m. Children who are not enrolled in an after-school
activity may participate in the Bearcat Club from 3:05 until 4:30 p.m.
Due to gym or field space limitations, as well as other reasons, some sports are held on Saturdays.
