Moving to HCAL

Meridian Athletics will be moving all teams to HCAL for the 2026–2027 academic year.

This year, Boys Varsity Volleyball and both Varsity Soccer teams participated in the Honor Charter Athletic League (HCAL), and we were very pleased with the level and quality of competition they experienced. Our original plan was to move only our Varsity teams to HCAL, but TCSAAL does not allow participation across multiple leagues, so we have made the decision to transition all teams.

In addition to stronger and more consistent competition, several sports will benefit from slightly longer seasons, and teams will have more standardized game days across the league. Below are the designated game days for High School and Middle School sports. While occasional schedule exceptions may occur, these will be the primary competition days.

High School Game Days

Volleyball: Tuesdays & Fridays
 Basketball: Tuesdays & Fridays
 Soccer: Wednesdays & Saturdays
 Flag Football: Wednesdays & Saturdays

Middle School Game Days

Soccer: Wednesdays & Saturdays
 Flag Football: Wednesdays & Saturdays
 Volleyball: Primarily Thursdays, with some Mondays
 Basketball: Primarily Thursdays, with some Mondays

HCAL’s philosophy emphasizes growth and development at the middle school level. Because of this, Middle School teams will have the opportunity to advance to Regionals, but not State Championships. Advancement to State competition will be reserved for Varsity teams, similar to the varsity lettering model.

Please see several important Fall sport updates below:

Cross Country

  • Late registration: July 20 – July 30 (9:00 p.m. deadline)

Welcome to Meridian Athletics!
 
Meridian Athletics Mission Statement: 
At Meridian School, we believe that students should balance the different aspects of their lives - intellectual, physical, and emotional - to achieve well-being and well-roundedness. Participation in competitive athletics and developmental sport experiences can contribute to this balance. The athletic experience will be provided within a nurturing environment that motivates the student athlete to view athletics and sports as life-long endeavors. Coaches will work with student athletes to aid their understanding of their strengths and weaknesses to enhance their personal development and improve their contribution to the success of the team. Win or lose, Meridian School will encourage student athletes to provide a winning effort, exhibit sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and demonstrate respect for all.
