Varsity Softball Starts Season Strong
Undefeated and state-ranked, the Clio Varsity team is powering their way through their schedule.
Big bats, strong pitching, and team depth have powered the Mustangs all season! Leading the way on offense have been performances from Madalyn Raleigh, Kelcy Sperling, Evey Wagner, Ashlyn LaFreniere, and Lydia Perkins. Home runs have come from all over the lineup, including Sperling, Perkins, Layla Hutchinson, Summer Stevens, Addie Taylor, and Vern Tate.
On the mound, Addie & Vern have dominated with strong, consistent pitching performances.
Great job, Mustangs!

ATHLETICS 2026-2027
NEW: ARBITER REGISTRATION COMING FOR 2026-2027!
We are excited to announce that we are now offering the convenience of online registration through Arbiter Student Registration!
Arbiter Student Registration is a secure registration platform that provides you with an easy, user-friendly way to register for our programs, and helps us to be more administratively efficient and environmentally responsible. When you register through Arbiter Student Registration, the system keeps track of your information in your profile. You enter your information only once for each family member for multiple uses and multiple programs.
Some improvements you'll see with the new system:
- A designated landing page for Clio Area Schools, eliminating any confusion as to which school to select when setting up your account.
- A single account for families. Parents and students will no longer have to have separate accounts that need to be linked!
- No duplicte information entry. The system saves your information and will automatically apply it when you register for a program.
What you can expect:
- On Monday, May 4, 2026, we'll provide information on setting up your new Arbiter Registration account. There will be plenty of resources available from Arbiter on how to complete the process. In addition, we'll have in-person help available at the Free Physical Night.
- Once you have created your account, you can use our Arbiter Onboarding registration program to pre-enter your family information into the system. This will allow you to get parents, addresses, children and their medical history, and other data into the system before any other registrations begin.
- In mid to late May, we will open a window where you can register for the 2026-2027 school year. The summer registration window will allow you to register for any season. Registration windows for winter and spring will be reopened prior to each season.
We're extremely excited to launch this new program so stay tuned for more details!
LOOKING AHEAD- PHYSICALS FOR 2026-27
Per MHSAA rules for valid physicals, any physical dated BEFORE April 15, 2026, will not be valid for the 2026-2027 school year. If you turned a physical dated any time up to and including April 14, 2026, it remains in effect through the end of the 2025-2026 school year, but a new one dated on or after April 15, 2026, will be needed for the 2026-2027 school year.
If your student will be in 6th-12th grade next year and plans to participate in any sport, please make plans to get an updated physical. Spring and summer are a great time to get this checked off your list so you aren't scrambling when the season starts. And don't forget....you can get your physical for FREE at the Clio Athletic Booster Free Physical Night on Wednesday, May 27, 2026!
