Athletics


At WJJMS we offer three seasons of sports programs. In the fall, we run our Interscholastic Soccer program and Club Cross Country (an After School Club).  In the winter, we run both an Intramural & Interscholastic Basketball program.  In the spring, we run our Interscholastic Track & Field program. Attendance for all Interscholastic Sports try-outs are mandatory.

Please see the caption below entitled, Interscholastic Programs forms for Interscholastic Sports. For your convenience, you may print forms individually, as needed. Additionally, "Interscholastic Sports packets" are created pre-season, inclusive of an introduction and all program forms with the exception of the Pay-to Play form. "Interscholastic Sports packets" are distributed to interested students during lunch waves, included in our Digital Backpack and Puma News, and are available in our front office. All program forms are due by a specific date set by the Athletic Director, in order to be eligible to try-out for any Interscholastic Sport.
