Mission Statement

The mission of the Dedham Middle School Athletic Department is to provide enriching experiences, which complement the education students receive; teaching student athletes the values of self-discipline, respect, commitment, dedication, and teamwork. The athletic department provides a safe, and healthy opportunity for competition within the framework and guidelines of the Massachusetts Secondary Schools Administrators Association (MSSAA), and the Middlesex Middle School League. The privilege for student-athletes to participate in middle school athletics will provide them a chance to learn invaluable lifelong lessons and have learning experiences that will take them far beyond the court, field, or track.

From the Director of Athletics

Dedham Middle School is a member of the Middlesex League. The athletic program offers athletic competition spanning three seasons concurrent with the academic year. Student athletes are offered an opportunity to tryout and participate in soccer, field hockey, cross-country, basketball, outdoor track and field, softball, and baseball. The middle school program offers one level of play per sport. The Principal, Athletic Director, and Coaches are committed to offering opportunity to all those who take part in the program, fulfilling the educational mission of extra-curricular athletics and providing a positive, fun environment for healthy competition in preparation for interscholastic athletics. Student athletes will learn the fundamentals of each sport and will have an opportunity to not only develop athletic skills, but also social skills as they will be working with their peers toward achieving a common goal.

It is my hope that the students of Dedham make the most of the opportunities offered to them through athletics. I invite them to try out for any of our athletic teams, as they will in the future, benefit greatly from the rewards.
