The Middle School Athletic program is a program that promotes the development of fundamental skills, Christian Sportsmanship, and strives to be competitive with the intention of preparing our players for participation in high school.  This is a great opportunity for students to get involved and enhance their experience at OSLS.  All practices and games are after school.  With the exception of the basketball and the volleyball seasons, events are over by 5:30.

What to expect:

Varsity level (5th-8th Grade)-  Playing time is determined by how well a player is prepared which is assessed at practice.  Winning is the goal as the end of season tournament seeding is based on the win/loss record.  Each coach determines playing time differently which also means that every player may not see the playing field in every game. Season ending state tournament, some are out of town.

Junior Varsity (4th-6th Grade) -Every player will play in every game during the regular season, although the playing time is determined by how well the player is prepared based on the performance in practice.  Season ending state tournament, some are out of town.

- Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches are needed.  If you are interested in helping out in this way, please let me know by filling out the form below
