Now is the time to begin the process of taking care of registration thru FinalForms for Winter Sports. For those of you who are new to the high school athletic program, here are some important things to note:

• Basketball is a CUT sport which means the first two to three days of practice are used to evaluate all of the participants. Boys’ Basketball has traditionally had three teams; a VARSITY, Junior Varsity and a C-Team.
• Girls’ Basketball has traditionally had enough players for two teams; a varsity and a junior varsity.
• Practices for high school sports are typically held six days a week and attendance at practices is required. Rules prohibit allowing a student/athlete to miss practice other than for illness of family emergencies.
• Boys’ and Girls’ basketball, wrestling, gymnastics as well as boys’ swim and dive all practice over Thanksgiving break as well as holiday break (December 21 thru January 5).
