Three Rivers Middle School Athletics

Students will find a connection to athletic activities at Three Rivers. We want students to enjoy these sporting opportunities - to be part of a team, to work hard together with their teammates, to learn skills associated with particular sports, and to cultivate good sportsmanship. Many will continue on with these interests into high school. We encourage parents to actively support their children in both their academic and athletic pursuits.

• Register through Family ID ONLINE. This is the only way to register. Registration will open August 6th.
• Pay the Pay to Play fee ($40) ONLINE using your student's account on TouchBase. Or you may stop by the school and pay with cash, check or credit card. If you are interested in a scholarship (covering up to $30 of the fee), please stop by the school office for an application.
• Sports physicals - all 6th and 7th grade students need a current sports physical (dated May of the previous year or later). 8th graders only need one if they did NOT get one as a 7th grader. Be sure to bring a copy to the school office. Sports physical form

Middle School Athletic Philosophy

We believe that athletic participation provides a unique opportunity to fulfill many of the personal, social and physical needs common to middle school youth. Participation in appropriate competitive athletics increases one's sense of personal worth, self-discipline, respect and fair play, which can carry over into daily problem solving through life.

Coaches, teachers and parents have a shared responsibility to help guide, nurture and support our youth in developing the confidence and ability to make good choices both on and off the playing fields.

Through dedication, effort and practice, our youth will develop athletic skills and attitudes that will contribute to personal success, as well as team accomplishments. Our goal is to develop lifelong learners who enjoy and participate in a variety of healthy activities.

Central Oregon Middle School Athletic Policies

Middle schools in the Bend-La Pine School District compete with other middle schools in the Central Oregon areas. All Central Oregon middle schools use the guidelines outlined by the C.O. Middle School Standard Operating Procedures for Athletics. These procedures are available in the school office.

Code of Conduct

Any student who participates in school-sponsored athletics or activities must agree to abide by the School District Board Policies, Administrative Rules, Code of Conduct, building rules, and team participation/training contracts. All students who participate in athletics and extracurricular activities are expected to be positive role models for other students and members of the community. Students should demonstrate good conduct at school and in the community at all times.
