Hello PSD Playbook Fam!

Middle school gyms, fields, and trails are buzzing right now — and we love it. Fall sports are in full swing, and our student-athletes are putting in the work, showing up for their teams, and having a blast along the way. From cross country runners hitting the trails, to soccer players making clutch plays, to volleyball teams spiking and serving like pros, our middle school kids are giving it their all. Big props to our coaches, who are making it all happen behind the scenes!

Game On: Middle School Highlights

MS Cross Country

The trails are alive with the sound of determined footsteps! Our runners are crushing mileage, learning endurance, and showing what grit really looks like. The effort, teamwork, and growth we’re seeing out there is seriously impressive.

MS Boys Soccer

Our soccer teams are firing on all cylinders — sharp passes, fast breaks, and yes, a few dramatic saves that deserve slow-motion replays. Teamwork and school spirit are on full display, and the competition is heating up.

MS Volleyball

Volleyball season is full of energy — crowded gyms, loud cheers, and kids figuring out just how good they can get. Big shoutout to our Skills Squad players who are putting in the extra reps and learning new moves. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!
