Middle School Athletics

Pacific Ridge's middle school athletic program teaches lifelong skills and habits such as organization, persistence, patience, teamwork, humility, balance and open-mindedness. We emphasize the benefits of a "growth mindset" in all our programs, but especially with our middle school students, who come in all shapes and sizes, and who typically possess a wide range of skills and abilities.

To ensure that all students desiring to play sports are placed on the right team, Pacific Ridge abides by a “no-cut” policy; meaning, athletes might not have the skills to make the highest level of a team, but they will always have a team, the correct team given their skills and experience, to play on and enjoy (with the exception of some offerings that have limits on the number of participants). In addition to competitive sports, Pacific Ridge offers middle school students a comprehensive physical education program. Students may be placed on a developmental team when a sport does not have enough players to field a competitive team. Please visit our Physical Education page for more information.

Teams and PE classes train two to three times each week, during the school day. Games are usually two days per week, after school and/or on the weekends.
