An after school sports program is offered for seventh and eighth grade students. All students are invited to participate. We offer a no cut program in which all students will have the opportunity to experience playing time and learn good sportsmanship. Student's effort and attitude during practice are key criteria in determining playing time. Students will need to arrange for transportation from practices. There will not be an activity bus available. A doctor's exam or physical is required for all students who participate in the after school sports program. We participate in a league that includes Washington, Jefferson, Marshall, Bush, Tumwater and Griffin middle schools. Student athletes must adhere to all WIAA, league, school, and coaches' rules. Please refer to the “Olympia Public School Athletic Program Initial Participation” packet for more information.

Sixth grade students are offered an intramural program during the month of January. In June, sixth grade students will have the opportunity to compete with other sixth graders from other middle schools in the Olympia School District. Other extra curricular programs may be offered during the year. They are taught by individual instructors or in conjunction with the Olympia Parks Department.
Students who are involved in sports are expected to maintain a “C” grade or higher in every class in order to remain eligible for athletics. If a student drops below a “C” grade in any class they become ineligible for competition. The student may continue to practice if they are making an effort to improve the grade(s). The student may be eligible for competition once the grade(s) are back to a “C” or higher.
Summer time is a great time to get sports physicals completed for the coming year. District athletic clearance packets are available at the school. Clearance forms are due to the first day of practice. Paperwork is good for one school year. Sports seasons are: boys - soccer, wrestling, basketball, track... girls - volleyball, basketball, soccer, track. Olympia School District has imposed a pay to play fee of $40.00 per sport season.
