6th Graders:
All STA 6th graders are welcome to play on the Middle School football team. It's important for parents and athletes to understand that our Middle School team and our league is made up of 6-8 graders. Our football programs top priority is the safety of all our players.
Our staff will manage practices by ability level to keep athletes safe. This is much harder to do in game competition so we may limit the playing time in games for athletes who are mismatched. Feel free to email Coach Walch with questions (twalch@cadets.com).
