GISD offers five sports for girls: Cheerleading, Volleyball, Basketball, Track & Field, and Soccer. At Lyles, academics always take precedence over athletics. Athletes must maintain a passing average in all classes in order to participate. In an effort to instill life skills in our students, we teach our athletes respect, trust, and integrity.
We are preparing to continue a tradition of excellence and we look forward to the opportunity to another excellent year.
Mission statement
Lyles Middle School Girl’s Athletics program believes in building a strong, successful student-athlete, to teach the highest standard of academics, athletics, personal excellence, and healthy lifestyle and character choices. Our qualified coaches will provide and instill in the student-athlete with lessons of sportsmanship, team work, competition, and how to win and lose gracefully in and out of the arena of competition. The Interscholastic athletic program is committed to being an integral part of the educational process that will help develop physical and mental mature student- athletes and foster capable leaders to take their place in society.
Philosophy
We train and compete to be the very best we can possibly be. We want our program to be competitive against any and all opposing teams, while laying in the groundwork for the future success of our athletes. One thing you need to remember about our program is that each and every member is a valuable and contributing factor to our teams. Whether you are the athlete on the team or the twentieth athlete on our teams, you are responsible for contributing to our success and will be recognized as such. “We show up together and we leave together.”
“Realize who you are at the time you are in the 8th grade more than you knew as a 6th grader.”
