Athletics

The ZLS Athletic Department offers a variety of sports activities throughout the school year that are available to all ZLS and community homeschool students in grades 5-8.

There are fees associated with participation, see the costs for each sport listed below.
ZLS is also open to allowing 4th graders to participate in some sports, should a student be interested and space on teams is available, etc.

Any questions regarding participation in sports activities should be directed to Sarah Joplin, ZLS Athletic Director at athletics@zionls.org.
Information about Zion sports and activities is distributed periodically throughout the year to students and homeschool families.

Fifth through Eighth Graders are encouraged to try one sport each season. Our coaches ensure playing time for each athlete.

• Fall Sports include Cross-Country, Flag Football, Volleyball and Soccer. The fall sports season begins in late August and concludes in late October.
