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 Lenny Dale 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.
