Middle School Sports

Our middle school program is designed to provide an athletic opportunity for students in grades 5-8. We offer our students a sense of friendly competition with students from other regional public and private schools. The objective is to give our students a chance to enjoy athletic participation in the afternoons following school and to help them learn what it means to be part of a team.

Grades 5-8 athletics are co-educational and include soccer (early fall), flag football (mid-fall), volleyball (late fall), basketball (winter), and cross country (spring). Any student in grades 5-8 may participate in athletics as long as they show satisfactory school attendance, academic progress, and behavior. Teams are open to athletes of any skill level and do not involve try-outs. Teams play against three other local private schools, and each sport includes a championship tournament.

Please call the athletic hotline at 235-4651 for daily updates on practices and games.
