Grizzlies Middle School Sports Information and Schedules
Middle School Sports are open to 7th and 8th Grade Y.C.M.S. and W.I.M.A. Students. Currently we are fielding one combined team for each sport. If there are sufficient numbers we will sponsor a 7th and 8th grade team for the sport of choice. All 6th Graders are able to participate on teams in practices; 6th Grade students may participate in games or meets if there are not enough players to fill the teams with 7th and 8th Graders.
In order to begin any practice activity and participate in any Y.C.S. Middle School Sports; Team, student athletes must have a current sports physical that was completed on or after April 15 2022. Students must pass at least 50% of their 2022-2023 1st semester classes in order to be academically eligible to participate in winter sports. Travel card progress reports will be issued to all potential winter sport athletes. Voluntary Pre-Season Skills and Conditioning may occur prior to the first official day of practice.
