The Black Bear Middle School Program encompasses grades 5th through 8th and is a player-focused program with a passion to serve the communities in which we draw from. We focus on developing what we call “Team First Culture” through positive coaching and instruction helping them with goal-setting and building a players confidence. We have four high school head coaches and four high school assistant coaches dedicating their time to helping our middle school players reach the highest level they desire.
