Monday, August 18th at 6 pm, there will be a meeting for athletes and parents/guardians planning to participate in Fall sports at Central Middle School. The focus will be getting out information for incoming 5th and 6th graders and their parents, and to meet the coaches. However, ALL athletes and parents to attend are encouraged to attend, as each coach will be putting out information specific to their try-outs, which may start as early as Monday, August 25th. This is a great time to ask questions of coaches and to pick up schedules and needed paperwork.

Required paperwork:

If you are a 7th or 8th grade student participating for the first time; or you are a 5th or 6th grader (even if you played as a 5th grader last year), you need to have a completed physical form from a doctor, and a signed parental permission slip before being allowed to try-out.

If you are a 7th or 8th grader that has had a physical since 6th grade, you will need an updated health form - which can be completed and signed by a parent, and a parental permission slip before trying out.

You will NOT be allowed on the tryout field if you do not have your paperwork complete!

I hope to see you on the 18th at 6 pm - if the gym floor is ready, we will meet in there, otherwise we will meet in the cafeteria.

CMS Athletic Director: Chris Cook
