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.
