For a student to be eligible to participate in middle school athletics, students need to register. All students need to be registered in order to start practice on day one.
Athletic Registration Information
7th & 8th grade students interested in participating in a sports must have their parents register them for the upcoming school year on Bound. Athletic registration for the 26-27 school year will open on July 1, 2026. Students are not eligible to participate in athletics until registered and cleared. Registrations are good for the current school year only.
Please note that in addition to registering on Bound, your student will also need a valid physical. You can get a physical from your primary healthcare provider, local clinics, or if you need assistance, Metro Care Connection may be able to assist with getting a sports physical. The ONLY physical form we accept is the “Medical Eligibility Form”. Do not send physicals with your student to school or mail them to our office, as everything is uploaded directly by the parent to Bound.
PHYSICALS/CONCUSSION FORMS NEED TO BE UPLOADED BY A PARENT OR GUARDIAN INTO THE BOUND SYSTEM. YOU CAN DO THIS BY SELECTING THE REGISTER YOUR ATHLETE TAB ABOVE.
Participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege, and students will be expected to be in good standing academically. Coaches and directors will work with teachers to create a plan to improve grades if necessary.
If a student is not riding the bus back from an away game, they must have a transportation slip signed by a parent/guardian.
