“The work of childhood is play”
-John Stanford

Licton Springs K-8 believes that to successfully educate a child, you must teach every part of the child, including their bodies, and do it in many ways as children have many different learning styles. To achieve this, Licton Springs K-8 provides physical education in many different settings: PE, the classroom, sports teams, recess, after school activities and more.

Many adults have negative associations with school and PE: gym uniforms, boring activities, and humiliating experiences like being picked last. As part of creating lifelong learners, Licton Springs K-8 wants children to associate physical activities with life and learning, and to discover activities that are fun for them.

Team Sports

Even though our middle school population is small compared to other middle schools, we generally maintain girls and boys basketball teams, a girls volleyball team, and a co-ed ultimate Frisbee team. A teacher and/or parent coaches the teams. Watch the school calendar for game schedules and the newsletter for practice information.

Requirements to Participate in Sports

Physicals: A physical in the last 24 months is required for all sports. The physical is then good for 24 calendar months. Your scholar’s doctor can fill out the SPS physical form based on the last wellness exam or physical if it was within the last 24 months. The physical form is linked below.

Health Insurance: A scholar must have health insurance to play a sport. If not covered by a parent/guardian’s insurance plan, insurance can be purchased through SPS: SPS Student Insurance Enrollment.

Forms: All forms needed for participation are listed below.
