Long distance running. A great way to get in shape and ready for any sport. Boys and girls, 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade are welcome. Cross country is a fall sport and will start at the beginning of the school year. No experience needed.

See Coach Mueller with any questions. There will also be a summer camp for those wanting some additional running!

Are you a 7th grader looking to be part of a team and work hard? How about learn what a football family is and how strength is in numbers? Or you simply want to be part of our football team and learn the game! Our season usually begins two weeks before school starts and finish in mid-October….just in time for boys basketball or wrestling. We practice every day right after school and also will play at Simmons and a few other places. Come any of these days or see Coach Trejo in Room #645 or Coach Hamilton in the Main Office with questions. Hope to see you around!

Wrestling is offered as a winter sport for all students at Simmons. It teaches basic moves and continues to build on those moves throughout the season. No experience needed. The team competes in wrestling meets against numerous other schools in our district and the surrounding area.

Simmons Middle School enjoys a long and very successful soccer program. Our philosophy emphasizes individual growth, teamwork, and respect for all participants. We focus on improving the player’s physical fitness, soccer skills, and knowledge of the game. Teamwork is the foundation of this sport and players are encouraged to realize their skills and how they can utilize each other’s abilities to strengthen the team. We stress understanding for the complexity of the sport, which helps develop respect for the game, each other and our opponents. The program is offered to boys grades six through eight in the fall, and to girls grades six through eight in the spring. Due to the high interest in the sport, players do tryout for the team. Participants must maintain a passing grade in all academic classes to qualify for and to remain on the team.
