Soccer is a popular sport at Bement. There is a focus on learning the fundamentals of soccer from the ground up. This means an emphasis on passing, controlling the ball, and superb fitness. The varsity team currently competes against third and fourth squads of area high schools. They cap off the season by participating in the annual Eaglebrook Soccer Tournament in November.
Alex Bartlett has been running around on Bement fields since he started as a student in third grade. Mr. Bartlett played soccer on the Deerfield Academy varsity team as well as a club league in Nairobi, Kenya. As the Athletic Director, Health teacher, 9th grade advisor, and avid athlete, Mr. Bartlett is in his 43rd consecutive season of coaching. "I love trying to figure out how to reach every athlete as their coach and work to instill passion and confidence. Coaching is truly an art and I never want to stop in my pursuit to be better." Along with soccer, Mr. Bartlett coaches girls' varsity basketball, recreational tennis, and golf.
