Fall Sports Information!
All practices for athletes in 9th-12th grade begin this Friday, August 12!
There are three things to remember before practice starts:
1. All students must get an athletic physical. No student will be allowed to practice until they have turned in their physical form. The MHSA physical form can be found on our school website under the athletic tab.
2. Each student will need to pay the $25 activity fee per student, either cash or check, to the school. This fee allows your student to get in to every Sunburst home game all year and it helps pay for referees, sports equipment, as well as district and tournament fees. The adult all season pass is $50 per adult or $125 per family.
3. Parents should plan to attend parent meetings for each participating student. At these meetings, parents will need to fill out and sign concussion forms and athletic handbook agreements.
