Middle School and High School

  1. TO ALL INTRAMURALS PARTICIPANTS: WE have 12 teams registered for this year’s

 3 vs 3 Basketball Intramurals. The schedule of all the games is posted outside of the P.E. office. Students cannot change teams or new players cannot be added if they have not informed Ermis Dimitriadis. Every Monday we have HS teams playing and every Tuesday we have MS Division 1 & 2 games.

If the team cannot play, the next team on the list will take their turn. No dates are placed on the schedule but we have an order of the games. When the courts are wet we do not have scheduled games for safety reasons. The students are responsible to ref the games on their own, but the PE Dpt will be available to solve any misunderstandings. Games played up to 24 points to honor Kobe Bryant or up to the bell.

Thank you all and enjoy the Fun of Intramurals.. P.E. Department.
