Athletics

Middle School interscholastic teams compete in the Houston Junior Preparatory Conference (HJPC). Middle School athletics operates with a "limited cut" policy offering participation to seventh and eighth grade students who are willing to commit the time and effort required for team membership. Middle School teams are fielded for every sport that is offered on the varsity level, with the exception of golf and swimming. Sixth grade students can participate in football and track & field.

Cooper's athletic facilities include the Austin Gymnasium used by the lower school and the 30,000 square foot, the two-court Dunlap Gymnasium used for physical education, volleyball, and basketball. Outdoor facilities include Pugh Field, a lighted synthetic turf football and soccer field surrounded by the six-lane Pate Track; the Field Family Diamond at Finnie Park, a lighted baseball field with indoor batting cage; the lighted Pisula Softball Field; and the four-court, lighted Chenault Tennis Complex.

The Dragon Booster Club supports the school's athletic programs and its student athletes by providing financial support to the athletic program; promoting awareness, pride and excitement among the parents, alumni, faculty and students; and sponsoring events to increase community, spirit, and attendance at school sporting events. Examples of support include sponsoring Homecoming weekend activities, hosting the annual Athletic Award Evening, contributing to volleyball's Dig Pink fundraising effort, organizing the annual Booster Bash for student physicals, purchasing athletic equipment, and helping to fund facilities.
