Athletics
West Middle competes with other middle schools in the Iredell/Statesville School System in the following sports: football, volleyball, basketball, cross-country, wrestling, soccer, and cheerleading. Team membership is dependent on try-outs and students must maintain academic and behavioral standards.
These standards include:
Students must pass 3 of 4 classes per semester
-
Participation in any sport is dependent on the student’s previous semester grades
-
Students not meeting academic or behavioral standards at interim report time (or report card) will have until the next report period (interim/card) to improve, but cannot participate in the sporting event as an athlete in any manner. (See academic probation rules)
-
Students assigned to in-school suspension (first offense) may practice but must sit out the next scheduled game
-
On the second offense which results in ISS (in the same sport season) the athlete will be dismissed from the team
-
Any student who is assigned out of school suspension will automatically be removed from the team (applies to each sport season; fall, winter, and spring)
Further definition and clarity can be obtained from the office.

1st Offense- Warning by the coach
