The five Middle Schools participate in hosting each other and playing away at their respective local high schools. In total, 5 meets, including the Championship Meet whre the K-8 schools may join in. (Note: the 2023 season will only have 3 meets due to the number of High Schools upgrading their stadiums to turf)
Who Participates:
Track and Field is not a tryout sport, All who wish to play need to show up to practices, work hard, and learn how to compete in their events. Coaches may have athletes tryout for specific events, if the interest is more than can participate in a meet. Tryouts are based on skills of the events. Other factors taken into account during tryouts - grades, behavior, communication, sportsmanship, and good team work. Typically, teams can have up to 30 athletes.
Each Middle School has a 7th Grade Girls' and Boys', and an 8th Grade Girls' and Boys' Teams. Four teams.
Cholla, Desert Foothills, Mountain Sky, Palo Verde, and Royal Palm
Prior training:
Track and Field is highly competitive. Having previous experience is helpful for being the representative for the school in certain events. Anyone interested should practice the fundamental skills.
