Collegiate
strives to instill in our student athletes a sense of
fair play, honor, and pride.
Our "no-cut" policy and "team
selection" process allow for participation of all
athletes at the most appropriate level. Athletics in
Collegiate's Middle School are fundamental to many students'
educational experience and should engage the interests
and skills of each individual.
In teaching physical training, skills,
team play, competition, fun, character, leadership,
and school spirit, Collegiate seeks excellence and participation
of students in shared athletic pursuits.
We provide instruction in sportsmanship;
encourage appropriate spectator behavior and promote
positive support; sponsor team-bonding activities; celebrate
multi-season interscholastic athletes; and appropriately
publicize the program.
We have 35 teams for our 12 sports
offered in the Middle School.

Team Philosophies and Participation in Games Policies
Individual
Sports
With the exception of Blue/Gold Tennis (4-8), and MS
Track (6-8), individual sports allow Middle School students
in grades 7 and 8 to tryout for Junior Varsity and Varsity
KHSAA approved (high school) sports.
For JV and Varsity sports, a Team
Selection process is used, when necessary, to determine
Middle School participants. Teams generally practice
five times per week. Blue/Gold Tennis (4-8), and MS
Track (6-8) provide opportunities for participation
for all athletes.
Middle School Team Sports
- Gold & Zons: This is the
most competitive level. A Team Selection process
is used to determine participants. In almost all appropriate
situations, the team tries to win using the best athletes
available. Decisions regarding Participation in
Games are made in the context of an entire season
and not for each game. Teams generally practice four
times per week.
- Blue & Amas: These teams
are for developing athletes who have demonstrated
a strong commitment to a sport. Emphasis is placed
on individual skill development in a team situation
and in a game context. In certain sports, a Team Selection
process is used. Decisions regarding Participation
in Games are made in the context of an entire
season and not for each game, though most athletes
should expect some playing time in each game. Teams
generally practice four times per week.
- White: This level offers
competitive opportunities for athletes, but specifically
focuses on skills development. Participation in
Games is nearly equal for all athletes for every
game. Teams generally practice three or four times
per week.
- Sixth: These teams serve
6th-grade students only. These teams introduce athletes
to interscholastic competition. A Team Selection
process is used for basketball only. Participation
in Games is nearly equal for all athletes for
every game. Teams generally practice three times per
week. Middle School athletes in grades 7 and 8 are
permitted to play, by invitation of the Athletic Director,
on KHSAA approved Junior Varsity and Varsity team
sports.
