A MESSAGE FROM OUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Dear Parents,

ZGTMS is happy to announce that WCPSS has approved to begin interscholastic athletics at the middle school level. Beginning February 22nd we will begin with our Fall Sports: Football, Cheer, Volleyball, and W. Soccer.  Here are the ways for your child to participate:

1. All potential athletes will need an updated physical. Physicals can be found on our athletic website. Any student that had an athletic physical on or after 3/1/2019 will not need a new one. 
2. All students interested who completed the google form to participate will need to make sure physical is valid and Participation packet is completed online.
3. Students will be rotated during the season based on the cohort they are currently in. This means students will only be able to participate for the weeks they are assigned to by the Athletic Director. Virtual Academy students will also have the opportunity to participate in middle school athletics. If you are interested, make sure to join the teams google classroom. 
4. All sports will be non-contact, non-competitive this year. All seasons are skill development and conditioning only. 
5. 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students are allowed to sign up!

Monitor our athletics website closely over the next few weeks! We will be having a virtual parent informational night as well as meet the coaches on Thursday, February 18th @ 6pm! Link for virtual meeting will be on the front page of the Athletic website.

• FAQ

  Why can only some sports offer intramurals?

  The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services has determined that football, basketball and cheerleading are higher risk sports for the transmission of COVID-19. If that designation changes, we will consider allowing those sports to offer intramurals.

  Why can students only participate on days when they are in school for face-to-face instruction?

  There are two main reasons for this decision:

  1. Students entering the school campus in the afternoon and interacting with other students increases the likelihood of COVID-19 transmission. Our ultimate goal is to protect the health and safety of students and staff so our school buildings can remain open for face-to-face instruction.
  2. Middle school students have less access to transportation than high school students and therefore have fewer options for getting to school in the afternoons. It is inequitable to have activities open only to those students who have an available adult able to take them to campus in the afternoons.
