Ultimate Frisbee

Spring

Ultimate Frisbee is for everyone - truly. It’s inclusive, fun, and relies heavily on self-awareness, internal mediation, and advocacy - hence it's a natural fit for Hyla, which explains why it has been a beloved school tradition for many years. Every year we welcome students who have never played before as well as seasoned athletes looking to hone their technique.

We welcome ALL local students in grades 5-8 to join in!

Disc Golf

Fall practice, Several Tournaments

Our PE teacher Cooper Rooks first introduced this sport, a cousin to Ultimate Frisbee. He also built a disc golf course that wraps around our 13 acre campus and takes you through the woods, around the back field, and back up between buildings. Everyone is welcome to join in, whether during after school practice or at several tournaments throughout the year.

We typically host a fall and spring tournament. We'll post information about the Spring tournament here when the date is finalized.
