The Intramural Sports Program is designed to promote lifelong healthy and active lifestyles of all participants by creating positive experiences in recreational sports competitions through structured use of leisure time.
In order to participate in the intramural sports program, a student must be registered in grade 6, 7, or 8 at Trailside Middle School. Students may register for all sports or individual sports only. Students are not required to be at every practice/ game.The student/parent/guardian must also complete the registration process for intramurals through this link:
Part of this registration process is the completion and upload of a physical examination that will demonstrate that the student is in good health to participate. The preferred physical examination evaluation form is available as a link through the registration website. Any version of pre-participation physical examination which is signed by a licensed physician and includes a statement explaining that the student is a well child with no restrictions on participation may be accepted. All physical examinations are valid for 14 months from the date the examination was performed.
Tailside school level: Practices and Games will only be on Wednesdays immediately after school 3:40-4:40 pm.
LCPS Championships: This is only for the winning team who will represent TMS at the LCPS Championships on Planned Saturdays.
The intramural sports program consists of the following offerings:
Sport | Quarter | Max Students Per Team | Season Start Date | Dates of Play |

Students who register will choose their teammates for team sports. Any student registered through the school can join a team with any other students up to the maximum number of students allowed to participate on a team for that sport. Those who wish to play and do not have a team will be assigned to a team by the intramural coordinator.
The school will host pool play for approximately 6 weeks amongst the teams registered. Each season will culminate with a school tournament that will be seeded based on the pool play results. The tournament champion team will be invited to attend the LCPS Championship tournament on a Saturday following the completion of the season.
Cross Country Running is not a team sport. All students are welcome to participate. A separate Championship race for boys and girls will occur at the school, with the top seven runners from each receiving an invitation to run at the LCPS Championships at the conclusion of the season.
