Cross country, football, and basketball practice in the morning starting at 7am. Please ensure that your child is signed up for the early bus or that they have transportation to practice.

7th grade Girls Athletics
Moorhead coaches will visit Veterans Memorial and Grangerland PE classes in the spring to evaluate the girls interested in basketball, volleyball, track and soccer. Any girl may try out for any team even if she is not in the athletic period. Practices for 7th graders are in the morning before school at 7:00am. The athlete must be dropped off by a parent or can ride the CCHS bus before school with an early bus pass. Please ensure that your child is signed up for the early bus if she plans on riding it in the morning.
There will be a daily 7th grade soccer class in which students will be scheduled in with approval of the soccer coach. Being in the soccer class does not mean the athlete is automatically on the soccer team. She will still need to try out for the team.
8th grade Girls Athletics
Volleyball, basketball, and track will be scheduled in the athletic period at the end of the day. Girls are evaluated by the Moorhead coaches throughout the current year and will be selected by the coaches for the athletic period for the upcoming school year.

There are also late activity buses that will drop athletes off at satellite stops, not at the athlete's home. A late bus pass is required to get on the late buses.
