Emerson Teams through Ann Arbor Rec & Ed
Often Emerson lower school students participate in Ann Arbor Rec & Ed sports. These Emerson teams form based on interest and are parent-driven, parent-coached teams. All registration and games are scheduled through Ann Arbor Rec & Ed rather than through Emerson School; however, coaches typically hold practices after school at Emerson, when time and space allow.
All families interested in coaching, forming, or participating in a Rec & Ed Emerson team should contact the ESPO grade level representative or the ESPO Leadership. They will reach out to parents of the specific grade level to determine interest.
All Rec & Ed Emerson Coaches should do the following:
- Communicate with Athletic Director, Jessica Hoag regarding the use of Emerson facilities.
- Communicate with Director of After School and Auxiliary Programs Carly Meloche to provide practice schedule, roster, and any cancellation of practices.
