Course Description

ATHLETICS                                                                               All Year

This course focuses on acquiring kinesthetic sports skills. A physical exam must be completed by a physician prior to participating in the 7th grade athletic program. This course requires students to participate in rigorous physical conditioning as an integral part of the course. Students will have the opportunity to participate in competitive teams. Seventh grade girls will participate in volleyball, basketball, and track and field. Seventh grade boys will participate in football, basketball, and track and field.

In addition, there are responsibilities for both the athlete and the parent. For the athlete, he or she must pass his or her classes every six week. The athlete must follow school rules and act responsibly in school and at all athletic functions. For the parent, responsibilities include picking up students on time after every practice and game. Athletics is not a required course, it is a privilege. Athletes may lose the privilege of participation in athletics if guidelines and expectations are not met. Rules must be followed or there will be consequences. The goals of athletics include character building, teamwork and friendship development.
