3x3 Hoops

7th-8th Grade Intramural Basketball began last week. I am not sure what is the team name for the one pictured but for all of the wrestlers on their squad it should be the Four Horseman, NWO, or something similar!

THANK YOU!

A huge thank you is extended to Mr. Martinelli for taking professional photos of the basketball teams for a big part of the season. Please check out some of his work and more HERE and HERE!

Football Interest Survey

Supply chain issues continue to be present for football equipment. In order for SCS to get the necessary equipment to outfit our teams we need to know how much we need now. Please help us by filling out the survey linked below. Even if you think your child might not be interested please have an exploratory conversation with them. We had a TON of first year players on the 7th and 8th grade teams this year. Thanks for your help!


SURVEY

Strongsville Athletic Boosters

The Strongsville Athletic Boosters is comprised of parent volunteers that raise funds and provide support to all of the Strongsville High School and Middle School athletic programs and student-athletes. Every dollar raised by the booster club is invested back into the student-athlete experience. We purchase uniforms, warm-ups, training equipment and other items to help our student-athletes perform to the best of their ability in representing Strongsville City Schools. Our ultimate success depends on the commitment of parents! Click HERE to join the Athletic Boosters for the 2022-2023 school year. Becoming a member not only helps your student's success but it also gets you some free SWAG. Details in the graphic below.

HOMETOWN TICKETING FAN APP

The Majority of Schools in the Northeast Ohio as well as the state of Ohio utilize the Hometown Ticketing app for online tickets. Fans can now download the Hometown ticketing app called Hometown Ticketing Fan and purchase tickets for many games (home and away) through the app.

NEW WAYS TO PURCHASE TICKETS

Anyone that plans on attending a home contest for the Mustangs can purchase their tickets multiple ways. Keep in mind that ticket prices are set by the GCC


All other VARSITY sporting events will have $7.00 tickets for adults and $5.00 for students.


For stand alone JV, Freshman AND Middle School games, tickets will be $4.00 and $2.00


1. Tickets will be sold online through our NEW online Ticketing Partner, Hometown Ticketing. The link can be found HERE. This is the preferred method of payment for all home contests. You can also purchase tickets by going to STRONGSVILLEATHLETICS.ORG and by clicking on each team's schedule, there is a BUY TICKETS option. If you have question, please reach out to the Athletic Office.


2. We will offer at the gate cash and CREDIT CARD sales for all home contests. Again, if you do not want to wait in line, the online ticket option would be best


3. SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNTS. The GCC will allow Senior Citizens into any contest free of charge. At Strongsville, we will be issuing Senior Citizen All-Access passes that will allow them to attend any HOME sporting event free of charge. Passes will issued at any ticket gate upon entrance to an event.


(Please keep in mind that when we play non-league contests away, those schools may have a different senior citizen policy)


If you have any questions about the ticketing policy, please do not hesitate to contact the athletic department.
