Middle School "Winter 1" or "Early Winter" Sports Start on October 19.

We encourage you to come out for a sport even if you haven't tried it before! There are the 2 middle school sport options in the Winter 1 session.

  • Boys basketball (7th and 8th grade) 
  • Girls Swimming (6th, 7th, 8th grade) 

If you are not currently playing a fall sport, you will need to sign all forms on Final Forms and have a physical (dated after April 15, 2026) on file with the high school athletic office. To save yourself a trip, you can email that to the Athletic Department OR upload it directly to your Final Forms account. You're also welcome to drop it off in the high school athletic office if you prefer.
