Middle School

Middle School is a time for students to explore new sports and develop pride in representing CA.

CA’s Middle School athletics program is designed to foster newfound independence and growth in every athlete.

We understand that this stage of development is full of physical, emotional, and mental changes, and we strive to create an environment that encourages risk taking, discovery, and personal growth. By offering a balanced mix of support and challenge, we empower students to step outside their comfort zones, try something new, and develop confidence in their abilities. Our goal is to nurture a love for sports and help each athlete discover their potential while building resilience, teamwork, and self-discipline for the future.

“CA’s Middle School athletics program focuses on fostering positive team experiences, developing and improving students’ sport-specific skills and strategies, and exhibiting sportsmanship in all types of game circumstances.

Sixth Grade

Sixth grade is a transition year from Lower School P.E. to Middle School athletics. Students participate in a hybrid curriculum of competitive and non-competitive team sports along with new activities. To prepare for a more competitive atmosphere in Seventh and Eighth Grades, the competitive options for Sixth Grade include Baseball, Cross Country, Boys and Girls Basketball, Boys and Girls Lacrosse, Boys and Girls Soccer, and Volleyball.

Seventh & Eighth Grade

Seventh and Eighth Grade students prepare for the demands of high school athletics by exploring a variety of team sports and activities. All students enroll in a sport each trimester, attend practice on a daily basis, and—when on a competitive team—compete against other schools. Coaches make every effort to ensure equal playing time among all team members, while also taking into account the competitive level of the program and the sport.

Everybody Plays

Participation on a Middle School sports team is not dependent on skill level or prior experience. Coaches are committed to teaching all students the importance of hard work, sportsmanship, and dedication, while also promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
