OVERVIEW
Ashton Ranch works diligently to develop strong student athletes. We understand that for many of our Mustangs, sports serve as an outlet to build relationships, practice good sportsmanship and shine outside of the classroom. This past year, our softball team made it to the middle school finals, taking second place. Our cheer team swept this year's cheer competition taking first place in show cheer, pom, performance cheer, group stunt, mascot and were the overall champions for middle level cheer. We have strong partnerships with our feeder high schools to prepare and develop our athletes should they wish to earn a spot on our high school teams. You can find our Ashton Ranch staff on the sidelines cheering on our Mustang athletes.
Ashton Ranch is part of the Northwest Valley Athletic Conference (NWVAC). NWVAC is comprised of four K-8 and four middle schools from Dysart Unified School District. The top two teams from each region will compete in the Northwest Valley Athletic Conference Tournament of Champions against the top teams from Peoria and Deer Valley Unified School Districts.

Cheer consists of two seasons for each division and a final All District Cheer Competition at the end of the school year. All cheer teams will cheer for their home team at basketball games and flag football games during the winter and spring seasons. The All District Cheer Competition is mandatory for all schools and is hosted by a high school Varsity Cheer Team.
