Athletics director reports slight participation dip, celebrates volleyball champions
Summary
Athletics coordinator Kyle told the board participation is down about 13.5% from 166 to 144 students in middle and high school fall sports compared with last year, highlighted an 8‑0 volleyball season and described coaching development workshops for staff and parents.
Kyle gave the athletic report, noting fall sports photos from a longtime volunteer photographer are now posted on the district athletics page and that staff aim to continue posting photos into winter and spring.
He told the board participation fell from 166 students last year to 144 this year — “down a little bit” and cited cross country as having no high‑school participants this fall — and said the district will recruit for future seasons. Kyle celebrated girls volleyball, which finished 8‑0 and won the league, and described a coaching professional development series (Positive Coaching Alliance) that trained coaches and offered a parent workshop. He encouraged the board to review academic comparisons between athletes and non‑athletes when available.
Kyle credited volunteers including Tina Hagen and Lonnie Archibald for contributions to athletics and thanked contest managers and announcing staff who support events.
