Sports

Parkside's 2023-2024 Sports Season included Cross Country, 6th Grade Basketball and Track and Field!

For up-to-date sports schedules and results, check the Art David Athletic League website.

Each year our ability to field sports teams will depend on student interest and recruiting coaches. To learn more about the minimum number of students we need for each sport, click here.

Go Tigers!

Cross country is a competitive team sport offered in the fall for our middle school students. Five or more runners make up a team. Teams from various middle schools all race together at the same time. The top five finishers from each team are scored and their finishing places are added up to generate the team score. The lowest scoring team wins the race. A cross country course can consist of grassy fields, wooded paths and hills.

When and where are the meets?

Arts David Athletic League has several meets during the fall season throughout the peninsula. Please check out the ADAL website for more details.

Please note your donation is not required for participation in After-School Athletics. However, without adequate donations, our Athletics program is in serious jeopardy.
