NEWS ALERT
Flag Football is a non-contact sport. Players wear flags that hang along their sides by a belt. Instead of tackling the person in possession of the ball, the opposing team needs to pull off a flag. While flag football rules are designed to keep players safe, they also create an engaging, fast-paced version of football without the physical contact.

WAWM Intermediate School Interscholastic Sports 6th-8th Grade
Athletic opportunities are open to all 6th-8th grade school district residents including those who attend a parochial school, private school, home school or public school outside the district that does not offer sports. Student-athletes will work on building their fundamentals, teamwork and leadership skills while representing their school against local schools based on the conference their sport competes in. All participants must register with their attendance area school. All student-athletes will need a physical on file before participating in either the first day of tryouts or the first practice. If tryouts are required, participation fees will be due after the teams are announced.
• For girls and boys basketball and girls volleyball ONLY, Frank Lloyd Wright, Lane, and West Milwaukee Intermediate will compete in the Jr. Parkland Conference. • For 6th grade boys and girls basketball and 6th grade girls volleyball, student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in recreation leagues. This aligns with the conferences we participate in for these sports, which do not include 6th grade interscholastic athletics. This creates a more inclusive opportunity for all interested athletes during their intermediate transition year as there is not a try-out process. • Practices take place at the school you are registered at and scheduled in season between the hours of 3-5pm. • Bus transportation will be provided for athletes to all away competitions.
