Mission

Athletics at Urbana Middle School are to provide a well-rounded program of varied athletic activities for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students to freely participate and to grow physically, socially, and emotionally. 

Students are given the opportunity to be members of a team until eligibility, behavior, ability, or violation of policy limits or prohibits the students’ participation. Athletics must always be available to the many, not just the few. Every attempt should be made to encourage as many students as possible to share in the benefits of athletic participation.

The welfare of students is always of extreme importance. The emphasis on athletic training shall reinforce the philosophy that the educational sports programs are an integral part of the educational program and are justifiable only to the extent that they, too, are desirable learning experiences. All athletic activities in the school district shall be coordinated with the general instructional program. The aims and objectives of middle school athletics will reflect the aims and objectives of the total school program.
