Fall Sports Information
(posted by Joseph Bishop; 08/18/10)
Thank you for your interest in AA middle school sports. This fall we will be offering girls volleyball, boys soccer and coed cross country. The first practice will be held Monday August 23rd after school. Please fill out the athletic forms from the download section of this page. Along with the athletic forms we will need a copy of a physical from within the last year. If you need to get a physical, Med Express offers sports physicals for $20. The fee for all fall sports will be $100 made payable to American Academy.
We have tried to keep all practices and games to Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. We try to be finished before 6 pm but occasionally we may run a few minutes long. Usually there will be practice on Mondays, with games on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When there is not a game scheduled on a Tuesday or Thursday the coach will make the decision on whether or not to have practice.
We rely on parents to transport students to and from games and as many of you know our carpool situation is less than ideal. For away games at other schools we ask that students be picked up behind the school at the end of Monarch Ave. This allows us to avoid carpool and still be able to make it to the games on time. Also for away games we ask that you set up carpool with other parents not only for the students playing, but for siblings as well. The students will be released early from class (3:15ish)in order to change, walk up the hill, and get to the games on time. We ask that siblings not be released early so that they do not miss educational materials.
Eligibility for athletics is outlined in both the Athletic Policy and the Conduct Contract please review the policy carefully.
We are also looking for volunteers to help referee, score keep, and line judge. We rely heavily on volunteers to help with these things in order to keep our fees as low as possible. If you are interested please let me know as soon as possible.
Thank you again for your interest and please contact Joe Bishop jbishop@americanacademyk8.org with any other questions you may have.
