2012-2013 BENTONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
Dear BHS Student,
The Bentonville High School student activities program strives to provide students with a wide range of cultural, social, athletic,
artistic, and recreational activities that strengthen the bond between the student and BHS. BHS student activities facilitate per-
sonal growth by providing opportunities to develop teamwork, goal-setting, problem solving, and planning skills. In fact, re-
search on student activities has shown students who participate in activities are likely to have greater academic success, develop
leadership skills, and they report a higher level of school satisfaction when compared to students who are not involved with ac-
tivities.
Bentonville High School is committed to creating a positive student activities experience by developing programming that meets
the following standards:
High level of student participation
Equal access for all students
Diverse opportunities
Response to student interest
Community service
Leadership development
High level of Faculty/Staff participation
Please use this guide to connect with student activities that will enhance your experience at Bentonville High School.
Sincerely,
Kim Garrett
Principal

ULTIMATE FRISBEE
Spring
CO-ED
Combining the non-stop movement and ath-
letic endurance of soccer with the aerial pass-
ing skills of football, a game of Ultimate is
played by two seven-player squads with a
high-tech plastic disc on a field similar to foot-
ball. The object of the game is to score by
catching a pass in the opponent's end zone. A
player must stop running while in possession
of the disc, but may pivot and pass to any of
the other receivers on the field. Ultimate is a
transition game in which players move quickly
from offense to defense on turnovers that
occur with a dropped pass, an interception, a
pass out of bounds, or when a player is
caught holding the disc for more than ten
seconds.
Ultimate is governed by Spirit of the Game, a
tradition of sportsmanship that places the
responsibility for fair play on the players ra-
ther than referees. (The preceding was taken
form the UPA and FDA websites , about ulti-
mate)
Sign up as a team. You will need 12-14 peo-
ple on your roster to sign up. Teams are co-
ed . Cost is $30 per person and will include a
jersey. Games will be played at BHS or Me-
morial park on

and Saturday
afternoons.
LACROSSE
Winter
Boys and Girls
We will play a modified version of Lacrosse
called Chumash. It’s 3 on 3 lacrosse played on
a special goal with no goaltender. It’s perfect
for teaching the fundamentals of movement,
catching, and throwing in a game situation.
Sign up as a team of four or more. Cost is $25
per person if you have your own equipment,
$55 per person for those who will need equip-
ment. The high school will have 20 sets of
equipment for use by players who do not own
their own equipment. Sign up early as sized
are limited. Teams will have to provide their
own jerseys or they can where scrimmage
vests.
Teams are encouraged to find at least one
player who does not currently play lacrosse.
This will help to increase interest in the sport
and develop more high school players.
Games will be played on Sunday afternoons at
the TAC. Games will be played indoors or
outdoors depending on the weather. Season
will begin the first of December and will run
into February.
At least six teams must sign up for program to
