Each year our High School hosts the varsity Waldorf Basketball Tournament. This year nine Waldorf School High Schools are sending teams to Kimberton on the weekend of Feb. 10-13.This year the Lake Champlain Waldorf School will be participating for the first time.
Students, parents and friends of the Kimberton are invited to watch the games in our high school gym. The tournament is the highlight of the season for all the players. The teams are matched according to their strengths. The schedule of games can be found at the end of this article.
Karen Flores and a number of parent volunteers will prepare and serve a meal on Friday night for the players and coaches. If you are interested in helping with the meal or supervision at the tournament, please let me know.
After the last game on Saturday night there will be social activities for the players in the high school gym and Kimberton students from ninth grade through twelfth.
Guidelines for the Varsity Tournament
1. Parents should accompany younger children at the tournament.
2. Children are permitted to sit on the bleachers or on one of the risers on the high school stage when watching a game in the gym. For everyone’s safety students are not permitted to sit on the front of the stage and dangle their legs over the edge of the stage during a game. They are not permitted to use the exit doors from the rear of the high school stage or the exit doors in the locker room.
