Hello Bulldogs everywhere. I hope you are well during this challenging time. I hope all of our student athletes are finding ways to grow during this hiatus from our normal routines. It's not easy, but a Championship Mindset applies now more than ever. It's not easy to train when nobody is watching you work, but that is our challenge now and that is what Champions do.Below is an update on the planned spring season. There has been some communication put out by both the MIAA and the Hockomock League that help to shape what the spring season may look like. Here are the key points as of today:
1. As has been the case from the start of the Covid-19 impact, all of this information is subject to changes based on further actions by Federal, State, Local and School officials.
2. Tryouts/Practices are scheduled to begin upon our anticipated return-to-school date of May 4th. That's less than 3-weeks away! As that date approaches, we will share a blog entry about details concerning each sport.
3. Sometime in the coming weeks, we will be re-opening the registration window for the spring. Details around registering for the first time or un-registering, as well as User Fee info will be made available at that time.
4. All Spring Sports Schedules are now posted on the Canton High School page on the MIAA website, on the MIAA app or on our schedule page on our website. See links below.
5. There will be an MIAA Tournament that will culminate in Sectional Champions from around the state. Details can be found in the MIAA links below.
6. The first contests of the season will be played on Monday, May 11th.
7. At a recent MIAA Board of Directors meeting an earlier decision around waiving the physical rule for student eligibility was put on hold. Although we understand that many students will struggle to get an up-to-date physical exam (within 13 months) as of now, the rule stands. Please do NOT go to extremes to get a physical at this time. We are hopeful that the rule will once again be waived. We will keep you posted.8. We are continuing to prepare in every way possible for a spring season. We want our Bulldogs back in action as soon as is possible and safe.
9. If you have any questions regarding CHS Athletics, please feel free to reach out via email- ericksond@cantonma.org.
