Research shows student-athletes grow in confidence, and there is a direct correlation between improved homework completion and high attendance rates in athletes. At the middle school level, we are here to support fundamentals and introduce students to the game. We hold our athletes to the same eligibility requirements and guidelines as our high school athletes.
Together, we want to help our athletes develop new friendships, work as a team, develop effective communication skills, and excelling within sports they want to play.
