Welcome to KVMS Athletics!

Welcome to the Kankakee Valley Middle School Athletics page—the proud home of the Kougars! Our athletic program is an essential extension of the classroom, dedicated to fostering the physical, social, and emotional growth of our student-athletes.

At KVMS, we believe that sports provide a unique platform to instill our core ROAR values:

  • Responsibility
  • Ownership
  • Awareness
  • Respect

Whether competing on the field, the court, or in the pool, our athletes are expected to represent the Wheatfield community with exemplary character and discipline. We offer a wide range of programs—including football, soccer, volleyball, cross country, wrestling, basketball, and more—designed to challenge students to reach their full potential while maintaining a strong commitment to academic excellence.

Explore our resources to find schedules, physical forms, and team information. Paws up, Kougars!
