Athletics Opportunities  

Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 may participate in school-sponsored athletics, including

Tryouts for each sport will be announced to students prior to the athletic season. To be eligible to play, students must not have a failing grade in more than one class during the semester immediately before the season occurs. For instance, a 7th grade student wanting to play a fall sport who failed math and social studies during the spring semester of their 6th grade year would not be eligible to play. Potential student athletes must also submit completed permission forms, insurance information, and evidence of a recent physical examination to the team coach to be eligible to participate.

In order to participate in after-school practices, scrimmages, or games, athletes must attend at least half of the school day on which the event occurs.

All student athletes must abide by the guidelines of the Antioch Middle School Athletic Contract, which must be signed by a parent before they can start participating in that sport. This contract will be discussed and signed at the parent meeting that will be scheduled for each individual sport. The coach of each sport will provide students and parents with detailed information regarding tryout requirements, participation guidelines, practices, and game schedules.
