General Athletics Information

Welcome to Menlo-Atherton Athletics!

We welcome all interested students to get involved in sports at M-A. Here is some information to help get started.  Go Bears!  

All prospective student-athletes must be cleared to play SportsNet. prior to try-outs for any team.  Due dates for athletic packets are generally one week prior to the start of each season’s official start date.  

Try-outs for most sports last 3-7 days, but could be even longer for certain sports.  Our goal is to provide an opportunity for as many student-athletes as possible to participate in athletics.  However, due to the nature of sports, the size and availability of facilities, coaches, and minimum requirements and skills, there are cuts on most M-A athletics teams.

Total enrollment of the school:  Male:  1123, Female:  1014, X:  8 = 2145
 
Number of pupils enrolled at the school who participate in competitive athletics:  472 female, 656 male  = 1128 total (53% of total enrollment)

Our Athletic Program is not fully funded by the school/district.  We rely on the fundraising efforts of our ATHLETIC BOOSTERS to fill the gap.  The Athletic Boosters pay for most of our assistant coaches, all of our head Freshman team coaches, all of our uniforms, and much of our equipment.
