EEMS Athletics Update: All sports: Athletes will need to sign up for fall sports in the middle school gym sometime during the school day. When they sign up, they also need to take a permission packet which needs to be returned to Mr. Downs prior to their first tryout/practice. An annual physical is also required for participation. Cross Country: The first cross-country practice is this Thursday, September 1, from 2:45-4:00 PM for all interested students in grades 5-8. Runners are to pick up permission forms on the first day of school so that the forms can be signed and brought to practice on Thursday. Permission forms are to be picked up in the gym at any time during the day. Runners should wear clothing and footwear comfortable for running. It's recommended to bring a filled water bottle. Coaches Mr. Newett and Mrs. Bland are looking forward to a great season. Further practices will be discussed at Thursday's practice. Soccer: A final kick around will be hosted Thursday after school from 3-4:30 for both boys and girls soccer players. This is not a requirement for joining the school teams but rather just a way for players to get back into a soccer mindset while reconnecting with other players and their coaches. School soccer team tryouts will be on 9/6, 9/7, and 9/8 if needed. Tryout times will be posted here and also announced at school. If there are any questions, please reach out to Mr. Downs at mdowns@ellsworthschools.org

Today's kick around for girls soccer has been cancelled. If there are any questions, please email mdowns@ellsworthschools.org.

Attention 6th-8th grade boys and girls interested in playing soccer this fall for EEMS: The soccer coaches are holding some kick arounds that are geared towards skill development and refinement. These kick arounds will also allow players a chance to get back into the swing of soccer and also allow the coaches a chance to reconnect with players. Making the school soccer team is not connected with attending the kick arounds. The kick arounds will be from 3-430, please arrive to pick up on time or have another plan in place. We will meet rain or shine, out on the outfield of the baseball field at EEMS.  Girls' soccer will meet on the following dates: 8/15, 8/17, 8/22, and 8/24. Boys' soccer will meet on the following dates: 8/16, 8/17, 8/23, and 8/25. Players should at least be dressed to move (t-shirt, athletic shorts, socks and sneakers). Soccer cleats, shin guards and soccer socks and a mouth guard would be better, but not necessary for the kick arounds. Players should also bring a filled water bottle.  If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Downs at mdowns@ellsworthschools.org if there are any questions.
