Athletics

At Galloway we are proud to offer athletic experiences for our younger Scots. Jr. Scots is a feeder program run within The Galloway School and depending on the sport, offers clubs, clinics, and team opportunities. 

The goal of our Jr. Scots program is to provide children with the chance to discover their passion for sports, cultivate character, develop their skills, and learn to work as a team at this foundational level.

This 2025 Fall season we have three opportunities.

1. Jr. Scots Track Club
   1. Led by Coach Barthell, one of our ML track coaches 
   2. 2nd - 5th graders
   3. Starts Tuesday, Sept 2
   4. Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15-4:15pm at Galloway (Students will be picked up from their classroom for each session.)
   5. Come to run and play a variety of fun games! 
   6. $200 for 10 afterschool club sessions at Galloway
       
2. Jr. Scots Basketball Clinics 
   1. Run by our Varsity basketball coach and EL KW teacher, Coach Smith
   2. 4th - 6th graders
   3. Starts Friday, Sept 5
   4. Fridays from 3:15 to 4:15pm and Saturdays from 10am to 11am in the Galloway gym 
   5.  Come learn the fundamentals of the game: passing, shooting, dribbling, & off-ball movements. 
   6. $200 for 10 clinic sessions at Galloway
       
3. PRUMC Soccer League (Peachtree Rd United Methodist Church)
   1. Run by PRUMC and coached by parents
   2. Pre-k - 5th (Pre-K is co-ed)
   3. 1 practice and 1 weekend game a week (practice days are determined by the coach)
   4. This is an established Buckhead recreational league that will group our Galloway Scots together by grade. If we have enough players to fill a team and a Galloway parent coach, then PRUMC will create a full Galloway team. If there are not enough players in the grade to create a team, then they will group the Scots together and place them on a team with players from other schools.
   5. When signing up, write “Galloway” in the coach’s name preference and they will place you with other Galloway players.
   6. If you would like to coach, email Grant Hagy (granth@prumc.org) and check the box for coach when you sign up your child to play.

Contact Grant Hagy (granth@prumc.org) for additional information regarding PRUMC.
