Co-ed Sports Sampler

 

 

The 5^th grade sports are intramural programs.  Practices are Monday through Thursday.  Practice times may be before school or after school.  If they play after school we require your child to be picked up promptly after practice.  Coaches are required to stay until every player has left.  They will generally end around 4:30. 

 

We plan on combining the 5^th grade sports with the 6^th grade sports.  If the combined number of players is too large for any particular sport then we will separate the teams.  The ‘Pay To Participate’ fee will only be charged if the team is combined with 6^th grade. 

 

5^th graders are not allowed to use the locker rooms. 

 

There are no tryouts for 5^th grade sports. 

 

We are flexible for 5^th graders’ schedules.  We encourage them to join our clubs and experience other activities so students may miss days if they are given ahead of time to the coach.
