LMS Parents and Prospective Student-Athletes:

We hope you are enjoying a safe and relaxing summer! As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we want to share some important information for families with students interested in participating in middle school athletics.

Important fall athletics information is available by visiting LMS Athletics.  Specific information for your child’s sport of interest is available by clicking the season-specific tab at the bottom of the page. This includes important details such as tryout dates, times, and coaches contact information.  **Please note that tryouts for fall sports will take place during the first two weeks of the school year. 

Important Steps to Participate in Tryouts:

• All participants must be registered on FamilyID and have a PIAA Sports Physical attached to their registration in order to try out. No exceptions!
• Parents must complete the PIAA Sports Physical form, linked here: PIAA - CIPPE Sports Physical.  Section 6 of the form must be signed and dated by a physician after May 1, 2026 to be valid.
• Once completed, upload the PIAA Sports Physical (including the signed Section 6) to FamilyID. Registration for fall sports through FamilyID can be completed here: LMS Fall Athletics 2026
