WIAA Middle School Philosophy 

Program philosophy should be supported by all those involved with the program.

The mission of middle level/junior high athletics is to provide an enjoyable educational experience for young adolescents based on their developmental characteristics and needs. The development of the young adolescent's self-esteem, citizenship, responsibility and skills in cooperative and leadership behaviors are positive outcomes of appropriate middle level/junior athletic programs. These programs should be enjoyable, vigorous and safe and should occur in a positive climate with appropriate adult leadership and support.  Effective middle level/junior high athletic programs are coordinated with other school and community activities to offer additional opportunities for young adolescents to explore varied interests.  Middle level/junior high athletics are an essential part of the total educational process and an excellent opportunity for the home, school and community to work together.

• What is the difference between intramural clubs and sports? 

  • • Sports at Glacier like basketball, volleyball, wrestling, cross country, and track are all governed by the WIAA conference rules while intramural clubs sports like flag football, 3 x 3 basketball, and 6th grade volleyball are free to govern their own rules. 

• Can I pick my child up at a meet?

  • • There is a transportation form on MyPaymentsPlus. It should be signed when signing up for a sport. We encourage athletes to stay for the whole meets to support their teammates. If they do need to leave, athletes should check-out with a coach so they know who has left the meet. Requesting someone other than a student’s parent or guardian to transport them will not be honored.  This is district policy.
