We also encourage families to purchase the Wilson gray sweats for outdoor workouts during colder weather.
ATHLETIC PERIOD
Wilson Athletics operates with an In-Season and Off-Season program.
In-Season
Athletes participate in the sport currently taking place.
Off-Season
Athletes not participating in the current sport remain in Athletics, where they focus on:
- Strength Training
- Speed Development
- Agility
- Conditioning
- Injury Prevention
Off-Season is not PE. It is an athletic period designed to prepare student-athletes for future sports.
All athletes are expected to try out for at least two sports during the school year.
Season schedules will be released prior to each sport after teams have been selected.
All schedules will be posted on Rank One.

TICKETS & SEASON PASSES
Tickets for all middle school athletic events are purchased online. $3.00 for students & $5.00 for adults.

ATHLETIC INJURY INFORMATION
Northwest ISD offers optional supplemental student accident insurance for athletic injuries. Here is the policy information: ATHLETE SUPPLEMENTAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Because this coverage is available to families, the district is not responsible for medical expenses resulting from athletic participation.
All injuries should be reported to the coaching or athletic training staff immediately.
After 3 days of an injury/illness, a doctor’s note is required to sit out of Athletics. Please communicate effectively, and we will work with our families and student-athletes to do what is best for them.
