Fall Sports Practice Begins for Middle School

Fall sports have begun for Middle School under guidelines set by St. Louis County. The student-athletes practice on alternating days and must wear masks at all times unless they are unable to due to a medical issue. Students do not share equipment and must complete a screening process prior to every practice.

Although games are still in question, the fall season consists of skills, drills, and conditioning. Under the County guidelines, the teams must move to Phase 3 before they can compete against other teams, but coaches and athletes alike are hopeful they will have a few games to finish out the season. In the meantime, it’s great to have our Middle School Rams back on campus for training!
