Boys Middle School Basketball Tips off on Monday, Oct 26th - Join the TEAm Today!

Hello 5th and Middle School Families, 

Monday, October 26 marks the start of the '26 Middle School Boys Basketball season - with practice at Martis Camp's Red Barn! 5th - 8th grade boys of all experience levels are encouraged to join. Use this link to sign up today, and limited need based scholarships are available - ping me. 

League Info - TEA can field two teams if we have enough players to do so: a 7th grade team and an 8th grade team. The league would like to know right after October Break whether we'll be fielding multiple teams. If we don't have enough players for two teams, the league will make the necessary schedule adjustments. ~ 10 players per team is typical, and players can't play on both teams. 

Our game schedule begins in early November, we only have 8 games (4 away, 4 home) and 12 practices on the books. This team is coached by experienced Head Coach Steven Madeck, and others to be announced.

Fall Athletics Registrations are Live - Practice Begins in Early September!

Hello TEA Families,

Welcome to the new school year! 

Athletics is a healthy, challenging, and rewarding part of student life at TEA. With some smaller classes for the 2026–27 school year, we need greater student participation than ever before. Strong rosters allow us to train better, compete harder, and, most importantly, have more fun together. Have your child join us on the trails, court or golf links this Fall for a healthy, engaged and fun Fall!

As a small independent school 5th graders are allowed to participate in Middle School Sports. :-)

Rosters - The sooner we have XC running and Girls Basketball registrations the better, as competitive seasons begins week of Sept 7th.

Payment is required to join a team and helps cover coaching, team and league expenses and facility reservations. Please use the Active Network links below to register.

Offering Sign-Up - Registration links are found HERE.
