Dear CMIT South Families and Community,

We are proud to wrap up another exciting and successful CMIT South 2nd Annual Soccer Tournament! This event has brought energy, teamwork, and joy to our school, and we want to take a moment to reflect and thank everyone who made it all possible.

Congratulations to Our 2025 Champions!

Both teams showed incredible skill, sportsmanship, and determination throughout the tournament. We applaud all teams for their effort and commitment on and off the field!

Tournament Highlights:

• Competitive 9v9 matches on the outdoor field

• Fun and safe environment for Middle and High School divisions

• Trophies and medals for the champions

• A great mix of school pride, community support, and student leadership

A Very Special Thank You

We extend our deepest gratitude to our students, parents, staff, volunteers, and community partners who helped make this event a huge success. Whether you donated time, brought energy to the sidelines, or helped behind the scenes — we could not have done it without you!

Your continued support fuels our mission to build a strong, inclusive, and growing soccer program here at CMIT South.

We look forward to more exciting events ahead — and to seeing you all back on the field soon!

With gratitude and pride,

Coach Arroyo

If you are interested in trying out for the high school volleyball team for next school year, please read the important information below.

Girls' high school volleyball begins in the summer, BEFORE the school year starts. Tryouts take place at the beginning of August, and practices start immediately after tryouts. Anyone interested in playing MUST attend tryouts on the given dates; there are NO MAKEUP DATES. Any player who makes the team is expected to attend practice every day during the season and all games. All athletes must have an athletic physical on file to tryout.

Volleyball is a BIG commitment from players and parents/guardians because of the summer start, so please begin making plans now if you wish to tryout. Read below for further information, and contact Coach Sears (asears@cmitsouth.org) if you have any further questions. (Please note: Tryout times are tentative. For the most up-to-date information, follow the team's Instagram account @cmitsouthvb.)
