Middle School Athletics

Sports are offered during four sport seasons for 6th, 7th and 8th graders.

All students must have a completed Bloomfield Hills Schools Department of Athletics Physical Form (ONLY this form will be accepted) on file in the main office of your school to be eligible to participate in extra-curricular sports. A new form is needed every school year.

All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students must pay a participation fee of $150 to be eligible to participate in sports for the school year. For students in a "no-cuts" sport, the fee is due at the start of the season and for students trying out for the "cut" sports, the fee is due once they have made the team. Checks can be made out to Bloomfield Hills Schools and turned in to the main office. Payment can also be made on line at the Bloomfield Hills Recreation Department.
