About Our Programs

DCSD Middle School Sports are non-cut programs.
There are NO Tryouts for Middle School Sports Teams.
Our team sports are open to all students in grades 6th, 7th & 8th.
6th graders will play on 7th Grade Teams. 7th Graders are only allowed to play on 7th Grade teams, and 8th Graders are only allowed to play on 8th Grade teams.
The first week of practice is used to evaluate players skills, and place athletes on the appropriate skill level team. Based on the coaches evaluation of skills for the sport, players will be placed on either the A, B, or C team. Our highest skill level players will be on the A team, and so on. There is only one A, and B level team for Middle School sports; schools may have multiple numbers of C teams to allow all students an opportunity to participate regardless of skill level.
Cross Country, Wrestling, and Track are individualized sports open to all our students
grades 6th - 8th. There are no levels in these programs, as well as no tryouts for the team.
