Athletics
The West Ridge Academy Warrior Athletic Program competes in five sports through the Northern Colorado Independent League (NCIL). This league covers private and charter schools in the Greeley, Fort Collins, and Loveland metro areas. As of now, the league consists of thirteen schools. The league’s goal is to provide middle school athletes with the opportunity to learn and flourish in an athletic environment, all while learning the traits of sportsmanship and respect.

West Ridge Academy participates in five different sports that take place over five different athletic seasons . These athletic programs are available to students in grades 6-8. The following programs are offered by the West Ridge Academy, along with the seasons.
- Boys and Girls Cross Country – August & September
- Girls Basketball – October & November
- Girls Volleyball – November through February
- Boys Basketball – March & April
- Boys and Girls Track – April & May
At the West Ridge Academy, we are looking to have student athletes not athlete students. For this reason, academics are an integral part of the athletics program. The athletic director oversees the students’ grades and behaviors in their classes. Eligibility is released each Thursday, and a student has until Friday afternoon to resolve any ineligibility. If not, they will be ineligible to play in games the following week. This means that the student doesn’t travel with the team and does not attend the game. The coach for the team, along with the parents, will decide if the student can practice.
There is a charge of fifty dollars for each student to participate for athletics. We use this money to reserve gymnasiums for our home games and payment for the referees.
Clubs
There are a number of student clubs available throughout the year, including:
- Chess Club
- Art Club
- Lego Club
- Battle of the Books
