Bigelow Athletic Teams

Welcome to the Bigelow Middle School Athletics, home of the Bulldogs! Please read the information for the Fall 2025 season carefully.

• Registration will be open in Arbiter Live from August 29 to September 10.

• Practices and/or tryouts will begin the week of September 8, 2025, depending on weather and field conditions.

  • The user fee for Fall Athletics is $240. Payments can be made in My School Bucks beginning on September 22, 2025.

• If your student is interested in participating in a fall sport they must attend an informational meeting during Lunch/Extension block. Students are informed about meetings through daily announcements. If your student misses an informational meeting they can speak to the coach individually.

• Practice lengths vary but always begin 10 minutes after dismissal. Late bus transportation is available on practice days, but not on game/meet days.

• Transportation to and from Bigelow on game/meet days will be provided. For ALL games/meets, students will need to be dismissed from their last class 10-15 minutes early.

• It is the intent of athletic programs to provide opportunities for participation for as many students as possible. Budget constraints, safety concerns, and available facilities, however, make a "no-cut" policy difficult. Prior to the start of a season, coaches will advise interested players of the tryout and participation policy for each sport. Every effort will be made to accommodate as many students as possible with regard to safety, playing time, and available facilities, but coaches may follow pre-established and announced cutting policies.

• The fostering of participation and sportsmanship, as well as the physical, emotional, and ethical development of a student in a competitive situation, are emphasized. Inherent in this philosophy is the belief that winning is not the major goal of an athletic program. Coaches are encouraged to play every team member when game circumstances permit the use of substitutions.

• As members of the Bigelow athletic program, students and coaches are expected to demonstrate proper respect for each other, other teams and coaches, teammates, officials, spectators, and equipment. Student-athletes and coaches are expected to exhibit the highest level of conduct, both on and off the playing field, as they are, at all times, representatives of their team, school, and community.
