Middle School Athletics
The Nashua Athletics program strives to be a program excelling in academics, sportsmanship, and athletics while building pride within the school and the community.
Athletics provide an opportunity to extend the values and ideals developed in the classroom, and constantly strive towards the development of a well-rounded individual.
As a member of the Nashua Athletic Program, students are expected to demonstrate proper respect for all coaches, teammates, officials, spectators, and equipment. Student-athletes are expected to exhibit the highest level of conduct, both on and off the playing field, as they are, at all times, representatives of themselves, team, school, and community.
Middle School teams are open to all grade 6, 7, and 8 students.
Please be advised that Middle School interscholastic athletics are a 5-day a week commitment with occasional weekend events.

Fall 2021 Middle School Athletics Registration Procedure
At the middle school level there are 3 steps to clear an athlete for participation:
Step 1 = online registration
o In order to be cleared through the remaining steps before the first day of tryouts please register a minimum of 5 days prior to tryouts.
o Students may register after this deadline but in most circumstances will NOT be cleared to play by the first day of tryouts/practice.
Step 2 = a physical must be turned in once during a student’s middle school career.
o For the 2021-22 school year, physicals must be dated on or after July 1, 2020 (that is last summer).
o All sixth graders, students new to the school, and students new to middle school athletics MUST submit this physical prior to any participation.
o This physical should be turned in to the school’s Athletic Coordinator.
Elm Street is John Lysik
Fairgrounds is Samantha Little
Pennichuck is Michaela McMenamin
o This physical may also be uploaded through FamilyID during the online registration process.
o This should NOT be turned in to any school nurse, guidance counselor, or elementary school.
o Please provide a separate copy directly to the school’s athletic coordinator to be cleared for athletic purposes.
Step 3 = academic eligibility
o All middle school students are declared academically eligible for fall sports.
o Academic eligibility will come into play during the winter and spring seasons.
PLEASE complete online registration early to allow time for the remainder of the process to
occur prior to first day of tryouts/practice.
Instructions for Registering Online through FamilyID
It is expected that online registration process will be completed by a parent/guardian.
Two important terms to know through the process:
