Sports
Parkside is now offering Cross Country for Fall 2022 and Track & Field in Spring 2023!
For up-to-date sports schedules and results, check the Art David Athletic League website.
Cross Country
What is cross country?
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 is practice?
Practice will be held after school each week at Parkside. Please reach out to Coach Morrison for more details on days and times.
When and where are the meets?
Arts David Athletic League will have several meets during the fall season throughout the peninsula. Please check out the ADAL website for more details. Coach Morrison will also provide all athletes and their families details as meets approach. Carpooling is strongly encouraged for athletes and their families.

SMFC Ed Foundation Athletics
Did you know that After-School Athletics are not funded by the State or by our School District? Athletics are possible only through your generous donations which pay for practices, coaches, referees, facilities, uniforms, athletic directors and league fees.
Please note your donation is not required for participation in After-School Athletics. However, without adequate donations, our Athletics program is in serious jeopardy. Please help us continue to give our kids this wonderful opportunity to participate in sports and keep our Athletics program alive!
To donate online or to download the donation form, please go to the SMFC Ed Foundation Athletics page. Thanks for your support!
