Interscholastic Opportunities for 6th-8th Grades

Panther Athletics

The goal of our athletics program is to encourage participation and provide social, conceptual, and skill development for each student. Panther sports teams include basketball, cross-country, flag football, track and field, volleyball, and ultimate frisbee. All genders are welcome on all teams! Teams are designed to teach students individual and team skills and concepts, while at the same time emphasizing the importance of respect, good sportspersonship, and healthy competition. Coaches provide equal opportunities/playing time to all players, and teams are usually grouped by grade-level, although that may vary depending on the number of participating students. Go Panthers!

A non-contact team sport in which two teams have three hits to pass a ball over a dividing net, students develop improved hand-eye coordination and fast reflexes. *Registration in mid March.
