Here's some Information about the EMS
After School Sports:

Boys' sports include basketball, track, passing league football, and wrestling. Girls' sports include softball, track, volleyball, and basketball. Each season, with the exception of track and wrestling, contains an approximately four week session in which coaches work with athletes on fundamentals, drills, scrimmages, rules, and sportsmanship. There are no cuts during this portion of the season, which is known as the festival portion. The festival season culminates in a massive district tournament in which literally hundreds of middle school athletes from seven different middle schools represent their schools and compete in uniform against one another.

At the conclusion of the festival tournament, coaches choose an all-star team of 12 to 15 athletes to represent the school in the second portion of the season, known as the all-star portion. The all-star team plays a six game schedule, one game against each of the other six middle schools in the district. There is an all-star team for both the 7th grade and 8th grade in each sport. The only exceptions are track and wrestling, which do not have an all-star portion. One of the main criteria coaches use to choose an all-star team is ability level of the athletes, but they also consider effort, attendance, and willingness to be coaches.
