What is the Corollary Sports Program for the Middle School?
The Corollary Sports Program is a new offering designed to give all students a fun and rewarding sports experience.
This year each middle school will offer bowling, bocce, or a combination of the two. AACPS is committed to providing
competition opportunities that meaningfully challenge and involve all students. These opportunities lead to improved
sports skills, higher self esteem, equal status among peers and new friendships.

acquire new sport-specific skills,



foster new friendships, and to
