The middle school years are a great time to explore and become involved in school-sponsored sports and activities. The BCMS activities program is designed to help students have fun, develop new friendships, advance skill levels, and have a challenging and rewarding experience. The coaches and advisors share an appropriate philosophy toward the mental and physical well being of the middle school child. Students should consider being in several sports and activities throughout their middle school years.
