Athletic Opportunities at Hudsonville Christian Middle School 

Middle School students can engage in many athletic programs including all the major competitive sports. We encourage our student athletes to bring glory to God by performing to the best of the abilities our Lord has given them. Of course, students will also have lots of fun as they improve their skills and participate in healthy competitions.

Hudsonville Christian Middle School views the interscholastic sports program as an extension of the school curriculum. Positive Christian development is as much a focus as having fun, learning fundamentals and healthy competition. Within our athletic program, students follow an intentional progression from sixth to eighth grade, so that they are prepared for high school athletics.

6th Grade Sports

In sixth grade, students are given the opportunity to explore their interest in a variety of sports. Encouraging participation is a key component (there are no cuts), along with providing opportunities for social interaction and learning basic skills.

7th Grade Sports

Seventh grade teams focus on skill development and every effort is made to ensure each interested student can participate and have equal playing time.

8th Grade Sports

Eighth grade teams will see increased competition, with coaching emphasis on developing higher level skills.  Each sport has one team each for boys and girls and cuts may be made. Playing time will vary, although coaches try to ensure every athlete has a chance to participate in each contest.

Concussion Awareness
As you know, a new state law was signed last fall to go into effect this school year. Part of the new law requires us to provide educational materials to parents on the signs/symptoms and consequences of concussions. All parents are required to read the information and return a signed statement acknowledging they received and read the information. In addition, all coaching staff will be expected to be trained in concussion awareness as well. If you have any questions feel free to contact Chris Achterhof or Matt Borst.
