Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:41:50 GMT

Eighth grader Julian Henry really wanted to play football last year after he finished classes at Seneca Ridge Middle School in Loudoun County, Virginia, so he thought it would be a good idea to start a club, because the county didn’t offer organized sports at middle schools.There was a significant amount of interest, and Henry was satisfied with how it turned out. But, he said it’s been even more rewarding now that it’s a county-organized intramural sport at some middle schools.Loudoun County Public Schools has launched a middle school pilot program at four schools, including Seneca Ridge, with the possibility to expand it to all county middle schools. In the first quarter, middle school students were given the chance to join a coed flag football team, and volleyball, soccer and basketball will be offered later this year.Just weeks into the new school year, leaders at Seneca Ridge say the pilot program has produced promising results, giving students the chance to participate in an a...
