  3. Scheduling – Athletics • 7th grade Athletics – 7th period • Wear FISD-issued athletic clothes to 8th period class and then practice after school until 5:15 • 8th grade Athletics – 8th period • Practice straight through the period and after school until 5:15 • VB, BB, and track are the only sports that are practiced during the athletic period. • CC and soccer are after-school sports.

  4. Scheduling – Athletics • An athlete does not need to be enrolled in the athletics class to try out for a sport…but we do recommend it! • High school coaches work with VB and BB athletes during the class period. • Athletes who are enrolled in the athletics class and are not on the in-season team will participate in the off-season program (conditioning as well as preparing for the next sport). • Students should choose athletics because they want to try out for a sport, not because they want a free workout program or to “stay active.” • Tennis and PE are the other PE-credit scheduling options for 7th graders. • 8th graders do not have to enroll in a PE credit class.

  5. Scheduling – Athletics • VB season – 1st day of school until early Nov. • BB season – end of VB until mid-Feb. • CC season – end of Nov. until Winter Break • Track season – end of BB until early April • Soccer season – end of March until end of May • Coaches work together to share athletes so they can participate in all 5 sports. We encourage athletes to try them all, especially in 7th grade.

  6. Scheduling – Athletics • VB and BB carry 3 teams per grade – A, B, C • 10 regular season games (Thurs.) plus 2 tournaments for A team only (weekends) • CC carries an unlimited number of athletes • 4 meets on Wed. (last meet is District Meet) • Track carries 3 athletes per event with a limit of 5 events per athlete • 4-5 meets on weeknights • Soccer carries 2 teams (1 7th, 1 8th) • 6 games on weeknights plus district tournament on a weekend

  20. How to Make our Teams • Work hard • Be coachable – “Uncoachable kids make unemployable adults.” • “Character is who you are when no one is watching.” • Do the “little things” – touch all the lines • Skill level is at the bottom of the list!
