ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Dear Parents and Students of Iron Horse Middle School:
 
Iron Horse Middle School is very proud to be able to offer our Intramural After School Sports Program to students in all three grade levels.  Iron Horse’s intramural sports program is a non-competitive, equal opportunity program created in order to give students the opportunity to play sports, make friends, and become a part of the Iron Horse Middle School Community.  
 
In the 2025-2026 school year, we plan to offer Cross Country, Dodgeball, Flag Football Passing League, Volleyball, Badminton, and Basketball.  Each season is 4-5 weeks long with two 1 hour games per week.  All games and practices will be held at Iron Horse.  There are no tryouts or cuts for any after school team.  Interested students should attend the informational meeting, which is held prior to the sports’ beginning. 
 
All students MUST complete a Student Athlete Packet prior to participating in each after school sport. The Student Athlete Packet will be handed out and discussed by the coach at the team informational meeting. Packets will be collected by the coach, athletic director, or front office before the first practice session. The first 55 students (per grade level- 6th & 7/8th) to turn in their packet will be eligible to play in that sport.  Late or submissions after the 55 student max will not be accepted.  Students will not be eligible to participate until all completed forms are turned in.
 
As there are no district funds available for after school sports, the program depends solely on parent donations. The parent donation pays for coaches and necessary equipment.  We do request a one-time donation of $85.00 per sport ($9.44 per practice/game).  Any After School Sport that does not receive enough donations will be canceled and all funding will be reimbursed (less the processing fee).
 
Specific sport donation links will be provided prior to each sport
 
Checks can be made out to Iron Horse Middle School and given to the coach or the front office.
 
 
We look forward to student participation and thank you in advance for your support and donation. 
 
Sincerely,
 
Scott Matek
Athletic Director
Iron Horse Middle School

IHMS SPORTS PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

IHMS SPORTS PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

The after-school sports program at Iron Horse Middle School provides students with an opportunity to participate in a variety of traditional and non-traditional sports. Although games are competitive by nature, the emphasis is on participation.

Participation in sports develops a strong sense of pride, responsibility and school spirit. Student-athletes learn and develop self-esteem, commitment, sportsmanship, and respect for oneself, as well as for teammates, competitors, coaches, and officials.
