Akimel A-al Middle School Athletics

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION UPDATE:

    Dear Parents and Guardians,

    Thank You for your continued support and patience as we work to ensure our students

    and families are safe during this time.  Due to the decision to continue school closures

    through April 10, Kyrene's spring athletic season is cancelled.  We will be issuing refunds

    to our families for the full registration amount of $150 for Baseball and Basketball

    athletic fees and $110 for Track and Field athletic fees.  We have begun working on the

    refund process and ask for your patience as we work through this new protocol.

     

    Athletic uniforms are an important component of our programs.  We will not be

    collecting uniforms at this time, therefore this step will not delay athletic fees from

    being issued.  Once it is safe to return to school, we will be establishing a procedure to collect

    athletic uniforms and we ask that you help us in gathering and returning those uniforms

    when it is time.

     

    Be Safe and Stay Healthy

     

     

     Kyrene offers both “cut” and “non-cut” sports for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.

    • Cut sports include: soccer, basketball, volleyball, cheer, softball, and baseball.
    • The non-cut athletic opportunities include cross country, wrestling, and track and field. 
    The goals for every participant are:
    • Physical Skills necessary in the sport or activity
    • An awareness of progressive skill requirements needed to continue in the growth of a specific sport or activity
    • Respect for the efforts, abilities, and rights or others
    • The awareness of leadership responsibilities in school, community, and life contacts, as well as on the field
    • Active participation by all members of the team
