TL;DR

Basketball launches this year (HS, JH, 5th/6th; more if interest). Registration opens today (September 12, 2025).
Girls teams = “Monarchs.” Boys remain Kings.
“Tomball Prep” becomes our shared platform for academics, arts, Kings & Monarchs.
Newton off to a fast start with measured gains across timed events.

Expansion

If you haven’t completed our Sports-Interest Survey, we’d still love your input. Based on responses so far, basketball is next and begins competition this year. We’re opening basketball registration today and have published a program guide.

Planned teams at minimum: Boys High School, Junior High, and 5th/6th grade. If interest supports it, we’ll add more—including girls teams.

Monarchs: our girls mascot

As we expand our support for homeschooling, family-centered education, and independent learning, girls are co-equal in our plans. Because “Kings” isn’t the best label for girls, our girls programs will compete as the Tomball Monarchs in all sports (including current track athletes).

To put boys and girls on equal footing, we’re standardizing the platform as Tomball Prep—our college-preparatory foundation for Kings (boys) and Monarchs (girls), plus future academics and arts programs.

What changes for me?Boys teams: Tomball Kings (no change).Girls teams: Tomball Monarchs (new name & mark).Shared foundation: Tomball Prep (academics, arts, policies, calendars).

New web platform

You can keep using tomballkings.org as usual. We’ll also support tomballmonarchs.org (not yet active). Both will resolve to tomballprep.org (not yet active), which will host full information for both programs. Any links you’ve saved will continue to work.

Newton launch: strong first month

Our inaugural Newton month with Missing Element Sports at Texas Sports Medicine Center has paid off.

Newton athletes running the hill at Texas Sports Medicine Center, under the guidance of retired NFL player Mister Alexander.

In Monday’s first combine check-in for fall baseball class, Newton students led all timed events—including 60-yd and 10-yd dash, grip strength, time-to-first, and home-to-home—and the improvements were clear for students also in fall baseball class.

Thanks to the 50+ athletes who joined Newton’s Back to School Speed Fair each Saturday in August. Coaches Robinson and Alexander (Missing Element) were thrilled with week-to-week gains.
