Introduction
In order to build a firmer foundation for the middle level activities, the four middle
school athletic directors developed this program. Both the middle level administration
and an LPS Student Activities Task Force have approved this district-wide program.
The Middle Level Activities Program consists of four major components:
Intramural/ Athletic Program
Student Government Organization
Co-curricular Activities
Clubs
The subsequent document contains the philosophy of the program, guidelines, student
outcomes and specific policies and procedures for each interscholastic/ intramural season.

Philosophy In these years of exploration, middle school students ought to try their luck and test their
wings in a wide variety of activities without undue stress and possibly destructive
pressure.
The primary purpose of the intramural program is to expand the educational experience
of student participants through a variety of activities. This program will allow individuals
the greatest number of opportunities in which to acquire and gradually strengthen related
skills.
The intramural program has become an important educational tool that can be used to
develop character, promote fitness, to foster lifelong recreational habits and to instill in
the individual a sense of pride and confidence.
The intramural program is for everyone; it does not discriminate. Everyone is able to
participate regardless of skill level.
At the eighth grade level, the athletic program is more competitive with athletics being
divided into A, B and C levels for the purpose of competition with other middle schools.
Student Objectives Research has shown that students who are involved in extra-curricular activities are more
successful overall in their academic classes.
Students who participate in the intramural/athletic program will be provided with
opportunities to explore:
Individual interests.
Personal limits.
Experiences they cannot acquire or learn in the formal classroom setting.
Different channels of social, physical and emotional development.
Feelings of membership and camaraderie.
Lifelong leisure activities/hobbies.
Feelings of success in school activities.
Opportunities to build self-confidence.
Ideals of sportsmanship.
Opportunities to develop leadership and inter-personal skills.

Boys’ Wrestling Policies and Procedures
Match Regulations 1. There will be no specific weight classifications for dual meets. Each school will certify each
student’s actual weight prior to the match. The visiting school will provide the home school with a
list of participants, by name and actual body weight (lightest to heaviest), by 3:00 p.m. on the day
before the match. The home school will set up a schedule of matches from these lists and
provide the visiting schools with copies of the schedule at match time.
2. Each wrestler will wrestle three, one-minute periods. Depending on time, wrestlers will wrestle as
many time periods as possible and with as many different opponents as possible. JV and Varsity
matches will utilize a stop-clock; others, a running-clock.
3. No team scores will be kept. Individual matches will be scored. For each mat, the home school
will provide a scorer, a timer, and an official.
4. CHSAA Rules will be followed except as modified by district policies.
Uniforms Singlets should be worn and headgear MUST be worn.
