Let's Go Chargers!

The best part about sports at CH-CH is that they’re open to both seasoned and new athletes. We’re willing to teach the sport and make sure an athlete has the opportunity to be a member of whatever team they chose. This is a school where everyone is the member of a team.

We offer a wide selection of competitive team sports as well as non-competitive sports and activities. Our JV level programs focus on participation, skill development and the opportunity to gain new experiences. The varsity level programs will focus more on skill development, competition, and the pursuit of excellence.

Because our athletics and activities program is so vital to the CH-CH experience, families often have specific questions about league affiliation, student participation, and other aspects of the program. Please contact our Athletic Director, Lori White at 781-314-0850 or lwhite@chch.org with any programmatic questions.

Layla Maniscalco Named 2022 IGC Volleyball MVP
11/16/2022
Congratulations to Layla Maniscalco (‘23) on being named the IGC Volleyball Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year. As a returning captain, Maniscalco continued to display her excellence in all technical facets of the game. As an outside hitter, she has the ability to deliver strong plays from anywhere on the court and can attack equally effectively from the front or back row. She excels in digging, passing, and serving. She is able to read opponents and make necessary adjustments to her play and her anticipation and quickness allow her to keep plays alive.

Maniscalco’s 2022 stats were remarkable. She had a.49% hitting percentage, ace percentage of 52.97%, a service receive rate of 89.62%, and a nearly flawless digging percentage of 92.92%. Maniscalco is a true complete player and her game composure set the tone for the season. During one conference game, with the Chargers trailing 15-17, Maniscalco turned the tide with a resounding cross court kill, then proceeded to serve\win the next 9 points via her serve including 7 aces to close out a 25-17 victor for the Chargers.

“She brings tremendous intangibles to each game and practice; confidence that is contagious to her teammates, positive and calm energy with a “one point at a time” mentality. Layla recognizes the importance of mistakes and uses them as motivation for herself and her teammates to learn and grow from.” - Coach Emma Maniscalco (‘19)

Congratulations Layla, and GO CHARGERS!

Johnson Named 2022 MBIL Boys Lacrosse MVP
5/25/2022
Congratulations to Jaylin Johnson (‘25) on being named the 2022 Boys Lacrosse MVP of the Massachusetts Bay Independent League! In his first season as a Charger, Johnson led the team in goals, was second in assists, and posted a 24/7/31 point line for the season in only 9 games. He was often closely guarded by the other team, and he created offense for others by clearing space, securing possessions with 26 ground balls in league games, and often drawing double teams which created opportunities for the Chargers to score. One of Johnson’s many contributions to the team was his vocal leadership on and off the field, where his passion and drive helped push both himself and his teammates to reach their full potential throughout the season.

“Seeing Jaylin step into a huge role immediately and grow into a leader as well as a skilled player has been a joy as a coach. I’m proud of him and so excited to help him reach new heights next year.” - Coach MacPhail

Congratulations, Jaylin!
