The mission of the Alston Middle School Athletic Department is to aid in the total development of the student-athlete through organized athletic participation. The full experience includes participation in team sports, a wide variety of movement skills, the application that physical activity should be a lifelong habit and the development of social skills and self-confidence.
We currently compete in the following Dorchester District Two middle school athletic programs.
- Men's Wrestling

These athletic experiences all fall under the following set of expectations and are set forth to produce productive citizens.
As a student-athlete at AMS I will strive to abide by all rules and regulations set forth by the district, school and coaches. I will attend practices faithfully and work to better the team and myself. I will always conduct myself in a manner that will bring credit to my family, community and myself. I will try to encourage others and demonstrate good sportsmanship at all times.
