Despite a foot of snow on the fields, tracks and courts of Canton, our Spring Sports Season is set to begin on Monday, March 18th. Below is important information for all those planning on participating:
1. Plan to bring your own water the first week. With our field house still not open for the season due to cold temperatures, it's a good idea for you to bring your own water with you to your practice/tryout.
2. Having your parents/guardians register you online is only step one to being set for participating. You must also be sure that the athletic office has a physical exam on file from within the past 13 months. Be sure all is done by deadlines. In order to be eligible for the first day of tryouts, you must be registered for Athletics by Wednesday, March 13th at Noon. Click here to register.
3. Uncertain weather and field conditions will all cause schedules in the early season to be inconsistent. All spring student athletes must be prepared for a changing schedule.
