The Hardcovers’s middle school team (for students in grades 6 through 9) began competing in 2012 and the Hardcover’s high school team (for students in grades 9 through 12) began competing in 2016.

Our teams have done quite well over the years:

  • 2nd place at Middle School Regional Battle in 2016
  • 3rd place at Teen/High School Regional Battle in 2017

Practice sessions take place once a week in the summer with regional battles taking place in late summer or early fall.
