Athletic seasons are subject to change depending on the number of teams.

Game schedules are setup the first week of practice after number and sizes of teams are determined for all middle schools in MCPS.

6th graders may only participate in soccer, cross country, wrestling and track. They will have other opportunities to participate in Flagship activities including volleyball, and basketball.

Informational meeting and signups will occur approximately a week before each sport is scheduled to start.

Each season lasts approximately 7 weeks. The first two days are practice and evaluation. The coaches will then split players into A teams and B teams. 

Students must be receiving passing grades to participate in athletics.  Students' grades will be checked each week. 

Participation Fee – The fee is $30.00 per sport with the exception of Cross Country which is $40.00. There is a limit of $90.00 per student and $150.00 per family for the school year.

Scholarships are available for those in need. Inquire at the Main Office. 

Make checks payable to your school and returned to the Main Office along with all applicable forms.

* Students must have applicable forms and fees paid to participate in first contest 

No student athlete may have an “F” in any subject during a five-week athletic season.

Grade checks will occur the second, third and fourth Friday of each season to determine eligibility. Any student athlete, whose grade point average is below 2.0 and/or has an “F” in any subject, will be ineligible for the following 5 school days. Weekly grade checks will occur on Friday. If the student has raised their failing grades, the athlete will regain eligibility for the following week.

• Incomplete (I) may be given additional consideration for extenuating circumstances.
• During the 5 days of ineligibility, the student/athlete may practice.

A student athlete who is in a prescribed special education class or 504 program and is not meeting academic eligibility will have grades reviewed to ensure all accommodations are being implemented. 

• Behavioral Eligibility: Students who receive major ODR will be ineligible for the entire sports season.
• If a student-athlete receives a minor ODR, they may forfeit the ability to play in the next game pending coach/AD permission. 
• 4 minor ODRs = a major and will result in ineligibility. 

For activity participation, either in practice or competition, a student must be in class every scheduled period of the school day or have given documentation for an exempt absence to the attendance clerk or an administrator for that day. An exempt absence is defined as an absence due to a legal, medical/dental, bereavement or school sponsored reason. Students missing class due to an out of school suspension, unexcused and excused absences are ineligible on the day of the absence for practice or competition.

Students must also be at practice consistently. Chronic absences from practice will result in decreased playing time during games.

Parents must sign a Athletic Agreement/Waiver and the Code of Conduct for their child to participate in Athletics at the Middle school level. This is one form with two signatures.  Students may get a copy of the waiver from the office or it can be downloaded below. The form must be returned to the office before they will be allowed to practice.
