- Students must first participate in the try out period before competing in team play.
- Students are required to demonstrate exemplary behavior on and off the court/field and in the classroom.
How are teams chosen?
Our competitive teams are chosen by the coaching staff at the conclusion of tryouts. Students must attend all tryout dates in order to be considered for a team. These teams compete against middle schools across the county. Each sport has a separate boys and girls team, except golf which is co-ed. In all sports 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students compete together except track. In track, students are separated by grade level.
When do sports take place?
Tryouts and practices are held after school Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4:15pm to 5:30pm. Specific game schedules will be handed out by the coach on the first day of each sport. Students will need to listen to the announcements for the exact days of their tryout. (Boys one day, Girls the next)
Is transportation provided?
BUSES are available for all tryout/practice days and games. Students will get off at the closest school to their house. This is where parents pick up their child.
Students can also be PICKED UP at Lexington. PLEASE park in the parking lot and leave the parent pick up loop in front of the school open for the buses.
Can my child participate in more than one sport?
Absolutely! Students are encouraged to participate in multiple school-related activities, including sports, clubs, etc. Our coaches work around other school related schedules. We want our students to experience all that Lexington Middle has to offer.
What can I expect if my child is chosen for a team?
If chosen for a school team your child will be loaned a school uniform, which will be returned at the end of the season. Additionally, each team member will be given a schedule of games, with times and locations so you can come and support the team. There will also be a team t-shirt for purchase to wear to school on game days. Practices will continue to be held on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday- 4:15 – 5:30 during the competitive season.
