Greater Metro Conference unveils league honors for spring sports season |  Local | statesville.com

Calling all Athletes!

Middle School sports will be starting with basketball in the winter and soccer in the spring.

Bel Air Middle School participates in the Harford County Middle School Athletics program.  The program currently provides opportunities for a Girls and Boys Basketball and Soccer team.  Additional information will be shared with students during PE classes.  All sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are welcome to tryout.  A typical roster size for the basketball teams are 12-14 players and soccer teams 20-22 players.  Basketball tryouts typically occur in December (registration in November) and soccer tryouts typically occur in March (registration in February).

There are 3 things that are needed to participate:

  1. Before trying out (and during the registration window), a parent MUST register their child via registration.hcps.org using the same email on file with the school.  Under your profile, you will see an option for Winter Sports (Basketball) and Spring Sports (Soccer).  This option will not be present unless you login during the registration window (approximately 3-4 weeks long).  Additional information will be emailed to the entire school community (parents and students), so please be sure to have the email address that you use updated.

  2.  A physical must be completed and submitted to Mr. Sears or the school nurses one week before tryouts begin.  Please be sure to have the doctor fill check that they are medically cleared to play on the necessary form titled “2024 MS Preparticipation Evaluation Form” (one page document that includes the doctor’s stamp, signature, and dated after June 1, 2024).  Please contact Mr. Sears via email if you have any questions about the forms.

  3. Be eligible to participate, which means not failing any classes the quarter before, or during the season in which they wish to participate.  Ineligible students may contact Mr. Sears if they have questions.

Throughout the year, HCPS has worked with local medical facilities to provide free or reduced physicals.  Please visit https://www.hcps.org/departments/curriculum/athletics.aspx for additional information.
