Yeah I think this is probably a big part of it.

Middle school sports in MCPS is intramurals right?

[b]Back when we were in  middle school in MCPS, we used to compete against other schools  [/b]Then that cut.  And then I think they offered an intramural program.  I was never really clear on if that was official or not.  Where I initially thought it was the teachers that coached the previous year volunteering so kids could still do those activities within their own school.

And I think I just read somewhere recently where one of the school systems in Virginia was bringing back middle school sports.   ( https://wtop.com/loudoun-county/2023/10/luckily-we-were-chosen-loudoun-co-pilots-sports-at-4-middle-schools/ )

But basically I think middle school extra curricular sports are ranked pretty low when it comes to the budget.[/quote]

This is still the case!

MS kids can play a sport starting in 6th grade.  Softball, basketball, cross country.

The kids play against other middle schools and practice after school.

Teachers usually coach.

And then our MS ALSO offers intramurals.[/quote]

What school system are you in? This is definitely not the case in MCPS. They offer a few clubs for the most popular sports (which meets once, maybe twice a week). If your child likes a sport that is not considered popular, good luck even finding a club! We wanted to start a club and there were quite a few kids who were interested in joining. We made it clear that the kids would run their club, the teacher would not even have to coach (they would just offer adult supervision, which is required for a club). We eventually gave up because we could not find a teacher to sponsor it. It was really sad to see kids wanting to take the lead, but hitting a wall of teacher/administrative indifference. [/quote]
