Ballard HS Athletic Coach Directory
The BHS Athletic department staff is committed to do all we can to provide a positive experience for your student through our core PACT principles. Pride, Attitude, Compete, and Trust
Club Sports are a valuable part of Ballard HS as well but are not part of the WA Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) sanctioned sports as well as our Unified Teams. Team funding comes from players, families, and donors, instead of SPS and WIAA. Scholarships may be available. Club Sport signups are on team websites. Follow all our teams on their Social Media Accounts.
