    Intramural Sports: Begins 

    Intramural sports are designed to promote participation in sport to all eligible middle school students of all grade levels. There are no try-outs, and students don’t need much experience to participate. 

    Intramurals take place after school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and/or Thursdays from 3:05-4:30 p.m..  Activity buses are available after every intramural session. 

    Mr. Deming is the intramural coordinator and will provide more information during PE classes, on the intramural bulletin board, on the morning announcements, and on the school website.  Click here to access the calendar & see which intramural activities are being offered; this calendar will be updated monthly. 

    Sample sports can include: basketball, football, soccer, badminton, tennis, volleyball, cross country, dance, weight training, track and field, kickball, capture the flag, etc.
