Sandite Athletics is looking to launch a middle school soccer program this year at Clyde Boyd Middle School.

In a letter addressed to CBMS Families, head boys soccer coach Russell Ragland announced his intent to start a boys and girls middle school soccer team for the upcoming Springs 2024 season.

“To gauge interest, there will be a mandatory parent meeting on Tuesday, November 28th, 2023, to see if there is enough interest from students and parents,” said Ragland.

“The parent meeting will be held at the 6th grade center Cafeteria (enter on the west side of the 6th grade center) at 5:30 PM.”

Sixth through eighth grade boys and girls are all invited. Previous playing experience is preferred but not required.

Because the program is an official SSPS extracurricular activity, students will be required to maintain passing grades with good attendance and will be held to district behavioral standards.

Practices will be held at the CBMS North Field, Tuesdays through Thursdays, from 3:45 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Home games will be played at Charles Page High School’s Memorial Stadium, primarily on Monday nights.

A Soccer Interest Form has been posted online where students/parents can sign up for more information.
