Athletics - Palominas Elementary District

Quick Links

Athletics

Both Coronado and Palominas Elementary Schools offer a competitive, year-round athletics program for middle school boys and girls in grades 5–8. This year our teams will be competing as District Teams.

Our athletics program is broken into four seasons. Learn more about the individual and team sports our students may choose from and access important forms for both schools here.

Fees

We assess a $25 fee per student per sport to cover the costs of referees, uniforms, and transportation. Please make checks payable to your child’s school, or take advantage of the AZ ECA tax credit program to pay these fees. Sports Fees can be paid at the front office of your child's school.

Quarterly Sports

To accommodate all of our district players this year, some sports will practice and have home games at Palominas Elementary and others will be held at Coronado Elementary. Wherever the sport holds practice is where home games/meets will be played. Students from the other campus will be bused over for practice and games. Each coach will set practice schedules for their team.
