WINTER SPORTS:
Welcome to Taft Middle School Athletic Website
Here you will find information relevant to Middle School athletics and activities to our 7th and 8th grade students. This information includes but is not limited to physicals, registration, mission statement/core values along with tentative sports schedules.
Taft Middle School has established a solid working relationship with our Community Center who provides students additional opportunities to participate in athletics. Our Tiger Town team believes student involvement elevates classroom performance all the while developing character, work ethic, sportsmanship and pride in community development.
Taft 7-12 staff and community partners look forward to working to provide students opportunities to get involved and to ensure our students are developing essential skills through extracurricular activities. We encourage participation in athletics because it provides our students with important lessons for life such as teamwork, self-discipline, hard work, and courage. By offering a variety of programs our students are able to build their skills at the middle school level to prepare them for high school athletics.
Our Tiger Town community has high standards in regard to sportsmanship and conduct. We expect our students, coaches and community members to uphold these standards at all times. I would ask that you, as a spectator, reinforce these standards and practices to the highest regard. We are all role models for our students in our community. The athletic department is grateful to our stakeholders who provide unrelenting support, energy and enthusiasm for our student-athletes.
I thank you in advance for supporting the Taft 7-12 athletic program and student-athletes we serve. Our student-athletes and coaches are looking forward to a year of sports with their family, friends and community members there to support them.
Go Tigers!!!
