AEF Supports Middle School Volleyball 
The Alameda Education Foundation is proud to sponsor Middle School Sports at Lincoln, Wood, the Academy of Alameda and NEA/ACLC. This popular program started in the 2008-2009 school year and includes volleyball (fall), basketball (winter), and track & field (spring).
AEF’s Middle School Sports program not only gives 6th – 8th graders the opportunity to train and compete for their schools, it supports valuable life skills of sportsmanship, goal-setting, and discipline. Student athletes must adhere to academic and conduct guidelines established by the school sites.
Volleyball Championship Results
Wood Beavers Fell the Competition in Middle School Volleyball Championships
An exciting and competitive middle school co-ed volleyball season came to a close Tuesday, November 14, when the #1 seeded Wood Middle School Beavers defended challengers to clinch the championship titles in both the A and B divisions. The Middle School Sports program is run by the Alameda Education Foundation.
Wood dominated the B division this year with an undefeated record. In the championships, the Lincoln Lions kept it interesting, but Wood took it in two sets, 25-12 and 25-18. The A division was more competitive throughout the season with Wood facing losses from both Lincoln and the Academy of Alameda Olympians. The Academy made them work for this win, as well, taking the second set and forcing a third, but Wood gnawed their way to the trophy 25-11, 22-25, 15-5.
Middle School Volleyball is a program of the Alameda Education Foundation (AEF) to enable public middle school students in Alameda schools the opportunity to compete in organized school sports. The AEF program also includes basketball (winter) and track & field (spring). Teams participate from the Academy of Alameda, Lincoln, and Wood middle schools, as well as a combined Nea/ACLC charter school team. The program is supported by community donations, grants, and modest player participation fees. The Foundation wishes to thank the Alameda Boys & Girls Club for use of their gym for the playoffs and championships.
Basketball games are set to begin in January 2012.
Middle School Sports
Student athletes contribute a fee to help sustain the program. For the 2011-2012 school year, that fee will be $50 per student per sport. However, no student will be turned away for financial reasons. Please talk to your school coach for more details.
Student fees pay only a portion of the costs, however. AEF is actively seeking donations and grants to sustain this vital program. There is no district funding for middle school sports.
Note: There are no fees for tryouts, however, the authorization & medical forms are required to tryout (reference the 2011 MSS Athlete Packet below, pages 3 and 5 must be completed and returned to your coach).
