COMPETITIVE SPORTS FOR LOWER SCHOOL STUDENTS
ASM participates to varying degrees, and at different levels, in American and Spanish athletic organizations. Although we strongly support the young child’s involvement in physical activities, we believe in a balanced approach that provides young children with the opportunity to explore and to be exposed to numerous forms of both recreational and athletic activities.
It is acceptable for an elementary school child to participate in Benjamin and Alevin sports if he/she is of the appropriate age according to league guidelines. Current guidelines for participation in the 2022-2023 Pozuelo League are:
Team Birth date
Infantil 2008- 2009
Alevin 2010- 2011
Benjamin 2012- 2013
Pre-Benjamin 2014- 2015
Students participating in after-school sports must take the 5:15 p.m. bus or be picked up by a parent or authorized driver promptly between 5:00 p.m. and 5:15 p.m.
Participating students must have a medical and information sheet on file with the PE office before they can practice or participate in games.
ATHLETIC TEAM UNIFORMS
Students participating in after-school sports will be provided with a team uniform for games. This uniform must be returned at the end of the season. In addition, all students who participate in the athletics/sports program will be required to purchase a set of practice clothing. The practice clothing helps build team identity and ensures that all student-athletes are prepared no matter what the weather.
