MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS PROGRAMS Fall Season August – November CHEERLEADING Middle School Cheerleading is designed to provide opportunities for male and female students in grades 6 – 8 to join. The squad consists of enthusiastic, dynamic, fun, hardworking students whose mission is to primarily represent the School with a spirit of support for teams, fans, and the Falcon community. The team is coed, with the boys forming part of the group with the Cheerleaders and Mascots. Middle School Cheerleading is offered in the fall and winter. It is a dynamic group of young men and women whose hard work, dedication, and commitment are part of the overall success of athletics.

The course, typically 2.5 – 3.5 miles long, may include surfaces of grass, pass through woodlands and open country, and include hills, flat ground, and sometimes gravel road. It is both an individual and a team sport; runners are judged on individual times and teams are judged by a points scoring system. Both boys and girls in grades 6 – 8 compete in cross country, which takes place during the fall, and can include weather conditions of rain and a wide range of temperatures. Parents must provide tights, spikes, and socks. The Athletic Department will provide team uniforms.
