Athletics
Our goal at Thompson Junior High is to offer a broad based athletic program by encouraging all students to participate in various intramural and interscholastic activities. The coaches and the staff hope to accomplish the following:
- Develop the fundamental skills in each sport.
- Develop the team concept.
- Develop an enjoyment for athletic competition.
- Maintain academic success- most sports have an athletic study hall.
Interscholastic Sports Offered
Interscholastic sports allow athletes to compete against other schools, and include both home and away events. There is a $30 participation fee for each sport that you participate in, up to a $60 maximum per school year. A current sports physical must be on file with the nurse, and a completed participation waiver must be turned in to the coach before an athlete can practice or tryout.
