Middle School Sports

Participating on a team can help students make friends and discover new strengths. School sports are a great way for middle schoolers to get involved and develop healthy habits, teamwork, confidence, time management, and a sense of belonging.

Regardless of experience, participation in sports teaches children how to:

• Connect with other students on and off the field
• Try something new—branching out to try a new sport 
• Become resilient—success does not happen overnight
• Manage time—balance homework, sports practice, and family obligations
• Learn good sportsmanship—how to win and lose with grace
• Be positive—how to be a better player and a better teammate.
