Welcome to the Home of the Lancers 

Welcome to the ASM Athletic Department! 

ASM offers a wide variety of sports where our students will be able to participate and improve their fitness, fundamental motor skills, technique, tactics & strategy, self-esteem and overall well-being. 

We would like to emphasize the sports registration will not be on a “first-come, first served” basis. 

Registration opens: TBD.

All ASM individual Sports Information can be found in:  
PowerSchool: AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES.

Please read the specific information about the different sports. This year due to the COVID-19 Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Cheerleading and Gymnastics will not have a “Team Selection Day” or “Try-outs Day”.
Students will be placed in one of the teams based on the coach's feedback from the previous year. New students will be seen by the coaches in the first weeks of practice in order to place in one of the practice groups.

We are unclear if ASM will be able to play games this season. We will update the Lancer community as soon as we know. Meanwhile, you can find specific information about the different sports offered in PowerSchool: After School Activities.
