Union Academy Middle School Athletics are governed by the rules and regulations of the North Carolina Department of Instruction (NCDPI), which align with the rules and regulations of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA). Per these guidelines, participation in middle school sports is offered to current 6th-8th grade students.  Although at Union Academy, our 5th grade students are part of our Middle School, students who are currently enrolled in 5th grade are unable to participate in sports offered by the Union Academy Athletic Department.

The Union Academy Middle School teams are members of the Carolinas Beltway Conference and offer a wide variety of male, female, and coed teams during the fall, winter, and spring seasons.

For team participation, annual membership in the Cardinal Athletic Club, an annual physical, and an approved Athletic Clearance are required.

Each coach receives annual training and can acquire levels of certification through the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS).  This training includes but is not limited to CPR/AED certification, Teaching & Modeling Behavior, Sportsmanship and Concussion Awareness. Union Academy received a national recognition for certification of football coaches in the "Heads Up" program, which focuses on safe practices and guidelines to prevent concussions. In 2020-21, Union Academy Charter School was nationally recognized as a Level 1 Honor School by the NFHS for having over 90% of the coaching staff earn certification in additional courses offered through the program.
