Welcome to the District 6 Athletics homepage. At District 6, we believe that athletics are an integral part of a well-rounded education. Not only do students benefit from physical exercise, but organized athletics instill responsibility, and build relationship and leadership skills.

Below, you can find quick links to student-athlete registration forms and other important information related to middle and high school athletics in District 6.

For specific questions contact Chris Cline, Director of Athletics and Activities for District 6, or the school athletic director where your child attends.

GENERAL INFORMATION

See information regarding concussion injuries and standard protocols used by coaches, athletic trainers, and school health office staff in the identification, management, return to learn, and return to play guidelines established through the REAP Initiative. All student athletes removed from participation due to the potential of concussion must be "cleared" to return to play by a medical professional who is certified to make such determinations. Please review the information in this section. Head injuries/concussions are not limited to football. In D6, the sports with the highest number of concussions are usually cheer, football, and soccer. However, we see this type of injury in all sports.

Ride with a Parent

This form is used when there is an anticipated challenge for an athlete, usually getting home from an event. This allows a parent to give permission to another parent/guardian to transport their student-athlete home from a contest. This form cannot be used to approve school staff to transport students under any circumstances. Approval must be made through your school's athletic director or their designee.

MIDDLE SCHOOL & K-8 SCHOOL SPORTS SITES

Middle School Brief

We will be welcoming the Tointon Academy of Engineers to our sports programming! They will have 6th grade only in 2022-23. Opportunities will be available regardless of the number of participants. There is the potential of combining this year with other D6 schools.

We are fortunate to have an outstanding collaborative athletics program with the City of Greeley for our middle school/K-8 athletic programs. This collaboration allows us to have a "No Cut" policy.

For volleyball, girls and boys basketball, and girls and boys soccer, we will have tryouts for all 6, 7, and 8 grade participants. Athletes will be placed in one of four teams, regardless of grade-level. The four teams will be varsity, junior varsity, C, and D. All four levels will be filled if participation numbers support all levels. Cross country, girls and boys swimming, and track and field are all competed by a mix of 6, 7, and 8 grade students. For football, 7th and 8th grade football teams participate in the Tri-City FB League with middle schools from Greeley, Severance and Windsor. 6th grade football is part of the collaborative program with the City of Greeley. This league may include teams from around northern Colorado.

Our schools participate in the Greeley Middle school Athletic League, which also includes Salida del Sol for all sports except football.
