Team Sports

The grade six program exposes students to a variety of team sports through physical education class. Students conclude the following sports units with an interscholastic tournament.

Boys

• Flag Football (Late October)
• Basketball Early December (alternate years mid-February)
• Soccer Mid-February (alternate years early December)

Girls

• Volleyball Late October
• Soccer Early December (alternate years mid-February)
• Basketball Mid-February (alternate years early December)

Grade 6 students may also try out for the competitive league teams in the following co-ed sports:

• Track (early March)
• Swimming (Spring)
• Golf (Spring)

If there are not enough students in grades 7/8 to field a competitive league team, grade 6 students may try-out for the grades 7/8 team.

The 7th and 8th grade competitive team sports program teaches students the basic fundamentals of the sport, strategies, teamwork and sportsmanship.

A try-out is held for each sport. Students are placed on teams based on the following criteria:

• Commitment to the Chandler team
• Attitude and behavior toward coaches and peers
• Ability to work on a team to reach a common team goal and accepting coaches’ decisions
• Skill level

Due to the number of students who try out for the teams and the limited play time created by large team membership, not all students may make the A or B teams; therefore, Chandler has an intramural program in some sports to allow students the opportunity to participate in competitive sports and build skills through game time.
