The Florence M. Gaudineer Middle School Interscholastic Athletic Program addresses the physical, social, and emotional needs of early adolescence. The FMG Athletic Program provides our students with opportunities to participate in athletics, expanded in recognition of the physical, mental and social changes that they will experience. While competition is a key component to the middle school athletic experience, it is not the only attribute. The FMG Athletic Program is performance based. It is a competitive interscholastic program where placement on the active roster and playing time for games is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the coach.
Currently, Florence M. Gaudineer Middle School offers Soccer for boys and girls in the Fall, Basketball for boys and girls in the Winter, and Baseball for boys and Softball for girls in the Spring for sixth, seventh and eighth grade students.
Open Registration Date (RSchoolToday must be completed for every sports season. Incomplete registrations or submitting of RSchoolToday and medical forms after the dates provided may result in a delay of student participation in FMG Athletics.)

Please keep in mind that the FMG Athletic program is performance-based. It is a competitive interscholastic program where placement on the active roster and playing time for games is not guaranteed and is at the coach's discretion. The active rosters for boys and girls soccer will be approximately 18 players.
Please be aware that interest in FMG athletics is very high, so many students will try out for these teams. Due to this, we recommend that parents do not wait to sign up their children for different soccer leagues to see if their child makes the FMG Soccer team. Additionally, students, who earn a roster spot on the FMG Soccer team, must attend practices and games for other teams or leagues.

Frequently Asked Questions
1) If I registered last year and completed the Health History Questionnaire for FMG Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, or Softball during last school year, do I need to complete both of these items for FMG Soccer?
Yes. You must register each season. If you already have an account, you will login to your existing account to register for each season.
