Students
in grades 7 & 8 who wish to participate in interscholastic
athletics are encouraged to do so. Sixth graders can only act as
managers if selected by the coach. Managers are only allowed to do managerial duties and cannot practice or workout with the team.
BFMS athletic programs include cheerleading, football, volleyball,
cross country, golf, wrestling, basketball, softball, track, baseball,
tennis, and soccer. These teams compete in the Roanoke Valley Middle
School League. Students must pass three out of four classes for 8th
graders, and four of the five for 7th graders each semester in order to
compete in a sport the following semester. A Virginia High School
physical is required before students may participate in any
interscholastic event. Physical forms can be picked up at BFMS or TGC or
printed online http://www.vhsl.org/. There
is also a link at the top of this webpage. SCHOOL HEALTH ENTRANCE EXAMS will not be accepted. In addition to the physical
form, every athlete must sign a participation form as well as a
concussion policy form.
Activity
buses are available for students who participate in after-school
activities. Buses pick up at the West
Hall at 6:00 p.m. and transport students to Franklin County High School,
where they will board buses that transport them to the bus stop nearest
their homes. Students who ride the activity buses are required to
obtain an activity bus pass from the person who is responsible for the
activity.
You
can call the bus garage at 483-5541 to find out which bus to ride and
where the bus will stop, or click the link located at the top of this
webpage. PLEASE NOTE: THE ACTIVITY BUS DOES NOT NECESSARILY STOP AT THE SAME PLACE AS THE REGULAR BUS.
Students must have an activity bus pass, secured from the sponsor or coach in order to ride the activity bus. NO EXCEPTIONS!
The
same acceptable bus conduct that is expected on any bus ride is also
expected on activity buses. Activity bus transportation is a privilege
that can be withdrawn for inappropriate behavior.
For more information, please contact our Athletic Coordinator, Jessica Slough, at [email protected]
or at 540-493-6542.
