Sports offered: Football, Volleyball, Cross Country, Track and Field and Tennis. Football, Volleyball and Basketball require all participants to be in the athletic period. Those participating in cross country, track and field or tennis do not require being in the athletic period since all these sports are only offered after school.

Lady Wrangler team Responsibility: Our student athletes are expected to dress out and work out each day. The coaches expect 100% effort from our athletes and that they represent the Lady Wrangler athletic family (team) at all times through proper behavior, appearance and citizenship in the classroom.

Off season program: Our off season program is designed to help our student athlete increase their strength and overall condition through weight/resistance training, running and agilities. It is designed to help our athletes gain confidence in their abilities to perform athletically. Core strength and proper body mechanics is the focus when we work out. This will help our athletes gain overall body confidence in their daily lives. Those athletes that are not participating on a West athletic team will be in the off season program.

Locks, Lockers, and Locker Room: Every athlete will be issued a school lock and locker to secure all personal belongings. Do not share your combination code or locker with anyone.
