WE DON'T JUST PLAY BALL, WE "PLAY ALL!"
SBMS offers competitive team sports options each quarter as part of Monday through Thursday electives. There are no cuts; everyone who signs up plays!
At the top of our scoreboard:
Coaches are dedicated to maintaining enthusiastic and supportive environments.
Coaches focus on skill development, teamwork, and athleticism, ensuring every player feels confident and reassured.
Players feel comfortable trying new athletic endeavors and are encouraged to participate in sports they may not have previously considered.
The emphasis is on creating a positive experience for all student participants rather than winning at any cost.
Our primary goal is for our students to establish lifelong practices of healthy physical activities.
