AMS Athletics

Ames Middle School Sports

Athletics are an important part of any adolescent experience – from learning new physical skills and sportsmanship to simply enjoying the thrill of activity and competition.

Many students play sports for the sheer love of the game. But in our sports programs at Ames middle School, on top of the thrill of competing and having fun with friends, students experience benefits that support their academic, social, and emotional growth in middle school.

AMS Sports Teams

Our comprehensive sports programs offer activities for all ability levels. While we offer many competitive sports teams for our young student athletes, we also have developmental and intramural teams for students who love to play but not necessarily to compete.

We compete in a variety of sports including:
