FAQ
What grades can compete in interscholastic athletics at Brady? Students in 7th and 8th grade may compete in interscholastic sports. What sports are available to Brady students? Girls may compete in cheerleading, volleyball, soccer, or cross country during the fall; swimming or cheerleading AND baskeball during the winter(may do 2); softball or track in the spring. Boys may compete in football, soccer, or cross country in the fall; basketball, swimming, or wrestling in the winter; baseball or track in the spring. Can a student choose more than one sport per season? Girls can compete in two winter sports because the seasons do not overlap. Thus a girl who is a cheerleader for the boys basketball team, or a swimmer can also play girls basketball. For all other sports, a student can only play one sport per season. Because of gym/field space and actual playing time available, we have traditionally cut in the sports of cheerleading, volleyball, boys and girls basketball, softball, and baseball What is the time committment for middle school sports? Most middle school sports meet a minimum of four days a week after school, while some meet as many as six days a week. It depends on the sport and the season. Do any sports require practice over the summer? All Fall sports begin before school is in session. Do any sports include Saturday events in their schedules? 8th grade volleyball traditionally plays in one Saturday tournament. 8th grade soccer and 7th grade volleyball have also had Saturday tournaments. Wrestling traditionally has Saturday events in January and February. How do students receive information about the sports teams? Before each season, a meeting is held to distribute needed information. Students should listen to announcements for meeting information. I also send out a letter prior to each season-fall, winter and spring, either through mail, report card envelopes, or by having students bring the letters home. This website also offers information as well. |
