AEF's Guiding Principles for Middle School Sports

Program Principals

  1. Health and Safety
    • Adherence to applicable COVID and/or other health and safety protocols.
    • Recognition that social emotional health can be supported through a positive sports environment.
  2. Focus on Equity
    • Team selection should be made in consultation with side administrators with consideration of who would most benefit from team participation.
    • Inclusivity is an important value of the program.
    • Sites will actively reach out to students who may not be reached in regular outreach efforts.
    • Rules may be modified or developed to support the developing student-athlete.
    • Team/individual recognitions provided to support life-skills like sportsmanship, integrity, and grit.
  3. Preparation for high school
    • Academic and behavioral tie-ins.
      • To participate in AEF Sports, AEF requires that student-athletes have a 2.0 minimum G.P.A. with no single grade of an 'F' as of the most recent site grading term. If you have questions about grades or school performance, please contact your school site Athletic Director or Administrator.

Player, Parent/Guardian, and Spectator Code of Conduct

In an effort to make our sports program a positive experience for all student-athletes, AEF has established basic Code of Conduct requirements for students, parent/guardians, and spectators. Your school site may have additional requirements. Please be familiar with these and support the positive development of our youth by adhering to these.

Impact of Middle School Sports – Track & Field

I was happy to have a learner-athlete who is obese join our team. We added a new coach and made adjusted workouts so that they would have appropriate training. We focused on areas of strength, but also they were able to try a relay and the 100. They ended the season qualifying in minijav and shotput and got a medal in the Championship shotput!
Sports Impact Student Health

Congratulations to all the Student-Athletes on a successful 2022-2023 Track & Field season!
