Athletics & Activities

Mission Statement

The mission of Vista Peak Exploratory athletics and activities is to provide opportunities for students that maximize student engagement, participation and achievement. Student athletes are expected to display a competitive spirit, exhibit good sportsmanship and meet our standards for behavior and academic effort.

Philosophy

We believe that participation in athletics and activities is a powerful tool for the academic and personal growth of our students. The work habits and character development necessary to be successful in athletics and activities have a direct influence on a student’s academic and personal achievement.

 

All students in 6-8th grade are invited to participate in sports at Vista PEAK Exploratory. To be eligible, you must log into the athletic portal and register, pay and complete acknowledgement forms for each sport you are participating in.  A physical must be completed by a medical office and uploaded to the portal before the start of your sports season.  Physicals are good for 1 year from the date they were completed.  If you know you will be participating in a sport this year, it is encouraged that you complete the application process in advance of the sport, so there is no delay in participation.

The registration form(s) can be found at this link: Athletic Forms

Did You Know?

There are several benefits to participating in school sponsored sports. Below are just a few:

  • A student involved in middle school athletics has a much lower chance of receiving a behavior referral.
  • A student’s engagement, as measured by effort grades, dramatically increases when involved in a middle school sport or activity.
  • Coaches and teachers have anecdotally noticed great improvement of the self-efficacy of a student after they become involved in athletics and activities.
  • Students who stay involved in school-based athletics or activities at lease up until they turn 15 have much higher graduations rates.
  • Female students who stay involved in school-based athletics or activities at least up until they turn 15 have a much lower risk of teenage pregnancy.
