Middle School Athletics

The mission of the Coastal Athletic League is to provide opportunities for educating students in physical fitness, character development and socialization skills through athletic programs that foster teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship and respect for opponents and officials.

It is the top priority of the athletic directors at each school to maintain an appropriate middle school focus in their athletic programs. While contests are quite competitive, sportsmanship and good behavior are always our highest priority. We expect a positive example to be demonstrated by the coaches, parents and spectators when they attend our events. They should exemplify the standards of sportsmanship and positive support we work to instill in our students.

Each Quarter a new sport begins:  Q1 is Boys Volleyball and Girls Basketball.  Q2 is Girls Volleyball, Boys Basketball, and Cross Country.  Q3 is Boys and Girls Soccer.  Q4 is Track and Field.
