Almond Acres may be a small community school, but our sports offerings are anything but!
AACA is proud to offer a robust athletic program that includes after competitive teams and intramurals. It’s just another way the entire Almond Acres community is working to grow the whole child: heart, mind, body and soul.
In addition to our health and recreation programs and top notch academics, we nurture our students to grow into the best version of themselves through skills gained by being part of a team. Our athletes develop confidence, leadership skills and life-long friendships. They learn to win with grace and handle disappointment with dignity.
There is no greater time to find a sense of belonging and community than the middle school years. Our middle school sports offerings are designed to give students a chance to showcase their skills and learn new things. Sports are a social outlet and they’re a lot of fun!
If your middle school student is looking to grow his/her athletic development and have fun at the same time, we offer the following sports:
Fall
Flag Football (Co-ed)
Volleyball (Girls)
Cross Country (Boys & Girls)
Winter
Basketball (Boys, Girls & Co-Ed teams)
Spring
Track & Field (Boys & Girls)
Volleyball (Boys)
Ultimate Frisbee (Co-ed)
Almond Acres is part of a regional league that competes against nine other schools in the area. Middle school athletes play against other schools our size, preparing them for more competitive teams when they reach high school, but still allowing a fair playing field. In cross country, competitions are divided by age group and open to everyone in our area, regardless of school size.
Our elementary students don’t miss out on any of the action, either. Sports at Almond Acres are open to all students so they can experience being part of a team and explore their skills and interests. Sports provide our elementary students the opportunity to be with friends, move their bodies and have fun in a low risk environment, as well as prepare them for middle school athletics.

Sports teams at Almond Acres extend our mission of developing the whole child beyond the hours of a typical school day. We know that kids who play sports show increased confidence, sharper brains, sleep better and develop stronger hearts and lungs. All things essential for children to grow into the best version of themselves. Sports at AACA are a win-win!
Join us at Almond Acres as we cheer on our athletes–there’s a team for everyone here!
