Middle School Sports
Hillcrest Middle School participates in an after-school sports program through the Middle School Sports League (MSSL), comprised of other small, mostly private, middle schools. This is a parent-run program, and is not sponsored by the PTA or Oakland School District. The focus is on participation not competition. There is a fee to participate, which helps to pay for coaching, league fees, referee fees, and some gym rentals. Scholarship funds are available.
Flag Football (Fall): Any boy or girl who signs up becomes a part of the Hillcrest Cardinal Flag Football team. Practices are held after school and the season lasts approximately two months.
Cross Country (Fall): Any boy or girl who signs up becomes a part of the Cross Country Team. 6th grader run races that are approximately 1 mile. 7th & 8th graders run races that are approximately 1.3 miles.
Basketball (Winter): Basketball starts in January and runs for about three months. Tryouts to determine JV and Varsity teams (depending on level of interest) are held in early December.
Volleyball (Spring): This is a co-ed sport. Tryouts to determine JV and Varsity teams (depending on level of interest) are held in March.
