Denny International Middle School Athletics

At Denny International Middle School, we believe being a student-athlete means being a leader both on and off the field. Our athletic program is committed to helping students grow through teamwork, dedication, discipline, sportsmanship, and academic responsibility.

We expect our student-athletes to represent Denny with pride, respect, and integrity. The choices we make at school matter when we play a sport. Positive behavior, good attendance, effort in the classroom, and respect for classmates, teachers, coaches, opponents, and officials are all part of being a Denny student-athlete.

Our goal is to create athletes who compete with purpose, support their teammates, learn from challenges, and understand that success is measured not only by wins and losses, but also by who we become along the way.

Be a student first. Be an athlete with purpose. Be a leader who represents Denny with pride.

Go Dolphins!


General Information

Teams

For all sports there is a Varsity and a JV team.  Coaches place players on teams based on skill, grades, attendance and in-school behavior.*

*This is our first year of having cuts. In the past, we have had a “No Cut” policy. All sports have grown in participation in the last couple of years. With limited space for practice and the district only paying for two coaches, we decided to make this change.

Practice Days

Two days of practice for all sports. No practice on Wednesdays. Practice times will always be 3:00-4:30 p.m. Boys/Girls soccer practice will be at Nino Cantu Field (SWAC). Boys/Girls Basketball & Girls Volleyball practice will be in the Denny gym. Ultimate Frisbee practice will be at E.C Hughes Field. Track practice will be at Nino Cantu Field (SWAC).

Transportation After Practice

The activity bus will be in the bus zone at Denny at 4:30 p.m. OST registration is required for activity bus transportation.

Transportation For Games

A bus for Varsity Teams will be provided by the district to and from games.  A bus for the JV teams will be requested but most likely the district will not provide one. Carpool is a major help for our JV players to make it to our games.  Varsity players may ride with a parent/guardian if the coach is notified.

Grade Checks

Every Thursday our student athletes will have to turn in a “Denny’s Student Athlete Progress Report” to our Athletic Coordinator’s office (The Cove/Room 147) in the Galleria. Every Teacher you have, will need to sign the progress report. You can pick up the progress report outside of the athletics coordinator office (The Cove/Room 147) in the Galleria.
