Our sports programs have great participation, academic support, personal growth, and reputation for sportsmanship. Middle school interscholastic sports are divided into 5 seasons, as shown below.
ATHLETIC TEAMS (7th & 8th Grade)
- Practice/play anywhere from 2 to 5 times per week
- Subject to Team tryouts and possible cuts
- Subject to academic eligibility rules.
SPORTS TEAMS (6th Grade)
- Practice/play 2 times per week
- No Team Tryouts or Cuts
ATHLETIC OR SPORTS SEAONS:
- Every student-athlete must have a completed registration form (see below) turned in by the assigned deadline (Seasons are very close together at times and we can not add athletes into a a season after that deadline...please pay attention to when the season registration deadline for your child is.)
- Every student-athlete must have a completed Physical form on file at school
- Every student-athlete must complete a Pay-to-Play Registration process (link is available below) and have a copy of their receipt turned in to the school.
- All Student-athletes are required to attend the first week of Team practices
- Students-athletes who do not make an ATHLETIC TEAM (cuts) may choose to play on a SPORTS TEAM in the same sport (if available) or may join another team in a different sport. (This applies to an Athletic Team that has made enough cuts to form a second team. The second team is considered a Roll Down Sport team, which still consists of practices, games, and academic eligibility)
As students consider participating in sports with their parent(s) and/or guardians, they must understand the
commitment they will be expected to make when they decide to try out for a team. Students who come out
for teams must make them their first priority for after school time. Players will be expected to attend all
practices and games. This is especially important on ATHLETIC TEAMS where other student-athletes may
have to be cut. Only health, academic concerns, and family emergencies will be accepted as excuses from
scheduled practices and games. This expectation is spelled out in the Ann Arbor Public Schools and Middle
School Athletic Policies.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email A2 STEAM Interim Athletic Director, Amanda Stowe-Blanchard at [email protected]
