Athletics meet on a seasonal basis and are free to students. There are four sports seasons: Fall, Winter 1, Winter 2, and Spring.
Students in grades 6-8 can participate. Unfortunately, the league SPMS participates in does not allow 5th graders.

If you have any questions regarding athletic programs,
please contact Will Hackett (Assistant Athletic Administrator) or Jamie Watson (SPMS Athletics Liaison).

All student athletes must complete the online registration forms (below) prior to the first day of practice/tryouts
and provide a current physical (within the last two years) and insurance to play middle school sports.
Students only need to register once per school year.
Paper forms and translated paper forms are available in the SPMS Main Office.

If you DO NOT have these things please contact
Mr. Will (hacketwi@spsdme.org) in the athletic office.

Practices at SPMS - Outdoor Track & Field
Outdoor track & field athletes practice Monday through Thursday at the middle school from 2:20 pm until 3:50 pm.
Athletes practicing at SPMS can access the 3:50 South Portland Middle School late bus (use the "3:50 Runs" tab at the bottom of the sheet).

Practices at Wainwright Fields - Baseball, Softball & Lacrosse
Baseball, softball, and lacrosse athletes practice Monday through Friday at Wainwright from 2:30 pm until 4:00 pm.
Athletes take a bus from the middle school to Wainwright at 2:10 pm.
Please note that Wainwright is managed by Parks and Recreation, and decisions around weather or field playability are decided by them.
Athletics work closely with Parks & Rec to determine field playability on a daily basis and will do our best to make decisions by noon time on days where fields may be questionable.

Rain Day Rotation
The purpose of this schedule is to equitably distribute practice time on days when Wainwright is cancelled due to inclement weather, or unplayable field conditions.
In the event of weather which only allows for teams to be inside, the next team(s) on the list will be able to practice in the SPMS gym from 2:20 to 3:40.
While using the SPMS gym space your teams will also have access to the weight room.
When the Skillin field is available and the weather allows, one team will have access to the field while the next team on the list will have access to the gym.

Day 1: Track and Field 
Day 2: Boys Lacrosse 
Day 3: Girls Lacrosse/Softball
Day 4: Baseball 

For Monday through Thursday rain day rotations, students will be able to access the SPMS late bus. Information about the late bus can be found HERE (under the “3:50 Runs” tab).
If we have a rain day on a Friday, the Wainwright East and West Shuttles will be available at 4:00 pm (below).
Students may also be picked up from practices at SPMS in the pick up loop.

Wainwright Spring Athletics Shuttle
The Athletic Department provides a shuttle for athletes who are unable to get transportation home from practice at Wainwright.
We have created a shuttle that gets athletes to certain areas of the city from which they can reasonably walk. 
The Wainwright spring shuttle schedule is below.
Each location is a drop-off location. The goal with this shuttle is to cover as much of the city as possible given the resources we have.
