Middle School
Our Middle School Knights take the next step in their football journey. Players transition from in-house league play to a competitive schedule against area middle-school programs, sharpening technique, football IQ, and game-day discipline. Practices mirror the high-school system, so athletes learn the same playbook, terminology, and standards that await them at Lexington Catholic. Off the field, coaches stress academics, leadership, and service, shaping well-rounded student-athletes ready to excel in the classroom and on the field.
The Lexington Catholic middle school team is open to any 7th / 8th grade child attending a catholic school or is a parishioner at a catholic church.
Practices will begin on July 13 and will be held Monday through Thursday from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at Lexington Catholic.
Practice Requirements (per KHSAA) for EVERY Player:
-
5 practices in helmets only

11 total practices
Full-contact scrimmages and games may begin only after these requirements have been completed and approved by the coaching staff in accordance with KHSAA guidelines.

Each family is expected to volunteer at least once during the season at a home game. Volunteer opportunities include working the concession stand, gate, chains, or announcing. Fundraising participation is also expected and helps support program expenses throughout the season.
There is a risk of injury in every sport. Our goal is to teach the players at a young age how to tackle properly to mitigate risk.
Yes. We understand families are busy and that many kids participate in multiple activities. Our football program is designed with flexibility in mind, and we encourage multi-sport athletes. We believe playing different sports helps kids grow as well-rounded athletes and teammates. If there are any scheduling conflicts, just let us know—we’ll do our best to work with you.
