Middle School Athletics

The first real season

Middle school is where sport starts to ask something of your child. Practices land on the calendar. A coach expects them. Teammates notice whether they came.

That is the point of it. A student who learns to show up for a team in middle school arrives in high school already knowing how, and the habit outlasts the sport.

• A real team. Practices, a season, and games that count.
• Showing up. The first lesson, and the one that lasts.
• Room to start. Beginners are welcome on a school this size.
• Growing with them. High school teams are the next step, not a different world.

Four teams, three seasons

There is a middle school team running in every season of the year, so a student who wants to play can play through the year rather than waiting for one short window.

• Fall. Girls’ volleyball.
• Winter. Boys’ basketball and girls’ basketball.
• Spring. Futsal, which is soccer played indoors on a court, five to a side, with the ball at someone’s feet almost the whole time.
