Arizona Athletics – Go Apaches!
The middle school sports program is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of various sports while promoting teamwork, discipline, and a positive attitude toward physical activity. Emphasizing skill development, game strategies, and physical fitness, the program includes regular practices and skill-building clinics led by dedicated coaches and school staff.
Soccer, volleyball, flag football, basketball, Co-ed Cheer, and Co-ed Color Guard each have an 8-week skills clinic open to all interested students. During the clinics, coaches will hold tryouts to evaluate and select students to represent their school in competitive games against other middle schools in Alvord Unified School District. For Co-ed Cheer and Co-ed Color Guard, selected students will continue for an additional 16 weeks, participating in practices and performances at sporting events, culminating in a yearly championship. Track runs for 6 weeks and concludes with a district-wide track meet.
