Episode 074: Middle School Athletics
In time for the 2025-26 school year — just over a year from now — Avon Schools will open our third middle school, Avon Middle School West. With that information in mind, Corporation Athletic Director (AD) Jason Young, AMS North AD Ed Faughnan, and AMS South AD Will Mahan have been working for months to assemble and propose a plan that will maximize the potential of our middle school athletic programs for all student-athletes.
Join Dr. Wyndham as he discusses the details of the proposal Jason, Ed, and Will have been working on. Find out what their ideas are for existing programs like football, basketball, cross country, track, volleyball, and more, how they're slow-rolling the growth of new programs like baseball and softball, and what their plans are for adding new sports that will give even more students the chance to compete. Stick around to hear more about the vital partnership between Avon's middle school and high school athletics programs and Avon Youth Sports (formerly AJAA).
If you are a student-athlete who will be in middle school during the 2025-26 school year and beyond or if you're the parent of a student-athlete, listen in to learn more. Your feedback is vital, so don't hesitate to reach out to the athletics team. Contact information is provided below.
