Greetings,
Parents of students who plan to participate in athletics at Mannion Middle School in the 2025-2026 school year are now able to start completing the online forms required for participating in middle school athletics. Please see the information below regarding this process as well as information about intramurals, tryouts, and athletic eligibility for our fall sports, flag football and cross country.
Registration for Student-Athletes
Students who plan to try out for flag football, cross country, basketball, soccer, or volleyball in the 2025-2026 school year must be registered online by a parent through aktivate.com (this site used to be known as Register My Athlete). Please see the Aktivate Student-Athlete Registration Instructions guide for more information. Detailed instructions for using Aktivate are provided at Parent/Guardian Step-by-Step Guide to Aktivate or Guía paso a paso para padres o tutores para registrar un atleta en Aktivate.
Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, a $10 registration fee has been added to the Aktivate registration process. During the 2024-2025 school year, Mannion paid over $7,000 toward the costs of transportation and officials for sporting events. The $10 fee will be used to help cover the costs of Mannion’s athletic programs.
A sports physical is required for all students before participating in tryouts. The CCSD Physical Form can be downloaded here or within Aktivate. Several health centers and hospitals in the Las Vegas and Henderson areas offer discounted sports physicals, some of which are available on a walk-in basis. It is highly recommended that students planning to try out for fall sports complete their sports physical prior to the beginning of the school year. Students without a completed sports physical will not be allowed to participate in tryouts.
Cheer tryouts have been scheduled for September 2-5, 2025. Aktivate is NOT required for cheer tryouts, but it is required once the student is selected for the squad.
Flag Football
Flag football tryouts for boys and girls begin on Tuesday, August 19, 2025. Any students who would like to participate in tryouts must complete their registrations in Aktivate by Thursday, August 14, 2025.
Flag football intramurals will be offered for boys and girls on July 29-August 1, 2025, from 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM for all students who would like to participate. An additional round of intramurals will be offered on August 12-14, 2025, from 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM only for students who have completed their Aktivate registrations by August 8, 2025.
Tryouts and intramurals will take place on the field at Mannion Middle School. Students should bring water, sunscreen, and appropriate footwear.
Please see the 2025 Flag Football Tryout & Intramural Schedule for more information.
Cross Country
Cross country tryouts begin on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. Any students who would like to participate in tryouts must complete their registrations in Aktivate by Thursday, August 21, 2025. Students who are selected for the flag football teams will not be allowed to participate in cross country. Students participating in cross country will need to complete a registration in Aktivate and meet academic eligibility requirements, but the residency and guardianship rules in the CCSD Middle School Athletics Eligibility guide do not apply to cross country. Students in their first year of attendance at Mannion on a Change of School Assignment (COSA) are eligible to participate in cross county and volleyball in the 2025-2026 school year.
Cross country intramurals will be offered for boys and girls on July 29-31, 2025, from 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM, and August 12-14, 2025, from 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM, for all students who would like to participate. An additional round of intramurals will be offered on August 19-21, 2025, from 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM only for students who have completed their Aktivate registrations by August 15, 2025.
Tryouts and intramurals will take place on the field at Mannion Middle School. Students should bring water, sunscreen, running shoes, and school-appropriate running attire. For the 2025-2026 school year, the Cross Country team size will be limited to approximately 40 total students, and tryouts results will be based on the ability to run for a set period of time without walking. Please see the 2025 Cross Country Tryout & Intramural Schedule for more information.
The cross country season will consist of 3 contests and a CCSD Championship, with race distances between 1.5 and 2.0 miles long. Courses will be a mix of grass, dirt paths, and sidewalks. Please see the 2025 Mannion Cross Country Schedule for more information.
Athletic Eligibility Information
Information regarding eligibility requirements is listed on the CCSD Middle School Athletic Eligibility document. All student-athletes must meet the academic eligibility requirements, and students participating in flag football, basketball, or soccer must also meet the residency and guardianship requirements.
Mannion’s student-athletes are expected to demonstrate a positive representation of our school. Student-athletes and parents are asked to review Mannion’s expectations for student-athletes.
