Any 6th - 8th grader from: Platte River Academy, Platte River Classical Academy, any home school students, or students from neighboring schools that do not offer the sport they’re trying out for.
All players need a completed athletic packet with current physical turned in prior to the first practice. If an athlete has already participated this school year, they only need an Additional Sport Consent form.
There are no cuts for any middle school team. We will do our best to find the team that best fits your child’s ability, knowledge, and attitude. If needed (because of an abundance of players), but it’s rare, we will try and create a third (developmental) team if a coach is available. Practices would be 7-8am two days a week for that developmental team.
How much does it cost? The cost per sport is $125. This fee covers officials, coach stipends, equipment use and replacement and uniform rental. All sport fees will be added to My School Bucks shortly after the first practice.
How do players get to away games? We rely on parents to transport players to away games. Any player can ride with their own parents, but parents that drive others must have proper insurance documentation on file which meets the minimum requirements of $100K (medical/ person) $300K (total medical/ accident) $100K (property damage). This meets the Douglas County School District requirement.
Typically, practices are Mondays and Wednesdays 3:15pm - 5pm and games are on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 4:15pm. If the sport has a B team, that game will start at 5:15pm.
