    Malibu Middle School Athletics
    Malibu Middle School proudly offers an after-school, interscholastic sports program with 10+ sports each year. Malibu Education Foundation launched the program in Spring 2024 with seed funding support from the City of Malibu.

    Participation is strong! The Spring Season launched with 130 MMS athletes (nearly half the school) and the Fall season has over 150 students registered - 62% of the school participates in after school sports!

    The teams compete in the FIYA league, a middle school league which allows for the flexibility a small school like Malibu Middle needs, while offering the ability to build a robust, interscholastic athletics program for our students. The sports offerings for 2024-25 are:

    • Fall Sports: Girls/Boys Flag Football, Girls Volleyball, Cross-Country
    • Winter Sports: Girls/Boys Basketball, Cheer/Dance, eSports, and we will also offer Girls/Boys Strength & Conditioning.
    • Spring Sports: Girls/Boys Soccer, Co-Ed Volleyball, Track & Field.

    The Malibu Middle School Athletics program is a no-cut program, to encourage broad participation and multi-sport athletics.

    For specific questions related to the program, please email Daryl Adams at dadams@smmusd.org or text Daryl at 323-595-4042.
