Hello GLOBE middle school families,

I would like to begin by saying thank you for a great first half of the 2022-23 school year and share some of the wonderful things happening in GLOBE athletics.

The Athletic Club Committee has raised $10,853.59 so far. These funds directly boost our athletic department budget, allowing us to provide supplemental equipment, coaching, and programs to improve the athletics experience for all our students. Thank you for your continued support towards our $20,000 goal.

I am pleased to bring you some updates on our various sports, along with tentative dates for the upcoming spring season.

The swim team is 3-0 and doing a fabulous job in their inaugural season. They will compete at Georgia Tech on January 21 for the MAAC Conference Title. Good luck to all the swimmers and coaches!

Girls basketball is 3-1 and lost by only two points against The Galloway School. They are doing a great job and have a busy game schedule ahead of them in January.

Boys basketball A team is 1-3 this season and looking to find the right combination. They have home games on January 18, 24 and 26. If you get a chance to come and show your support, we would love to see you there.

Boys basketball B team is undefeated with a record of 4-0. These young men are fun to watch and work well as a team. Come and watch them play.

Boys basketball C team is also undefeated (3-0). They play on Saturdays and have a few home games this month. Great job players and coaches.

Cheerleading A and B teams are doing a wonderful job supporting our players and deserve a big shout out for all they do to cheer on all of the basketball teams!

Semester grades and report cards will be checked by coaches January 17–20.
Playoffs for basketball are January 30 to February 3.

The Athletic Club Committee recognizes one male and one female athlete each month with a gift. Coaches nominate and vote for the player who goes above and beyond for their team, while exemplifying C.R.E.S.T. Congratulations to the following student-athletes for being nominated and recognized:

• September: Belen Bianchi (Volleyball) and Joshua Benjamin (Soccer)

• October: : Gabriella Benjamin (Volleyball) and Johar Taibali (Soccer)

• November:: Holland Fagan (Swim) and Trey Beck (Swim and Basketball)

• Honorable Mentions: Regan Fields (Basketball) Leo Espinosa (Swim) Adam Joyner (Basketball) Day Gist (Basketball) Jessel Martin (Volleyball) Chastelyn Alvarado (Volleyball) Cristina Kaigler (Cross Country) Felix May (Cross Country)

Spring sports are just around the corner, so help spread the word about tryout dates as we get nearer. Tryouts for these sports will not begin until the winter sports have ended in February.

The spring sports that GLOBE student athletes may participate in are:

• Flag Football (Co-Ed)
• Boys Volleyball
• Boys Tennis,
• Girls Tennis
• Girls Soccer

Spring sports tryouts will begin the week of February 6, with specific dates and times due to be announced in the next few weeks, so you are able to plan accordingly.

Boys and girls tennis may begin February 1 and 2, depending on court availability. Look out for further details in the near future.

Interested in taking part?

If you have a student in grades 6–8 who would like to participate in GLOBE athletics, please check out our website for information and details of the various sports that take place throughout the year.

Don't forget your sports physical!

A sports physical is required in order to tryout. If this is the first sport they will be playing at GLOBE, then you will need to get a physical completed and turned in. You may turn them in to the front office, the specific coach of the sport, Enrollease or the Athletic Department.

Please note, the physical is valid for one calendar year from the date of signature. If your student has already participated in a sport during the 2022-23 school year, their current physical on file will be acceptable.

Once again, thank you for all you do to support our student athletes. We are extremely proud of their efforts. Let's have a successful finish to the 2022-23 school year. Go GLOBE!

Sincerely,

Melissa Lewis

Athletic Director
