* We have two modified boys' basketball teams to accomodate all our student-athletes from across the district. These teams have practices and games at Hackett and Myers middle schools and any student districtwide in grades 7-8 interested in playing modified boys' basketball is eligilbe to participate in either team.
Please note that the season for modified swimming and diving has a different start date than the rest of our modified winter sports. Families who are interested can register their student-athlete in and they will receive communication directly about tryouts and practices.
All coaches will keep student-athletes and families informed about adjustments to the practice schedule as the season proceeds. The competition schedule for winter sports is available in our Athletics section.
