Online Registration through Final Forms:

The athletic packet is available to fill out online through Final Forms. Once you have a user account you can use the same account each school year to register for that school year’s athletic opportunities.

Sports Physicals: Sports physicals are valid for two years from the date they were conducted unless noted by a doctor that the Sports physical is good for one year. During a well child visit you can ask your provider for the sports physical clearance and they can provide it for you at that time. Most medical providers and walk-in clinics provide this service but it is helpful to ask when scheduling the appointment and booking in advance as the appointment slots tend to fill up quickly (especially in the fall).

Fees:

*Students who participate in all 4 sports seasons will receive a $50 discount on their 4th season Athletic Participation Fee (must be paid in person or over phone to receive discount).

**Athletic Participation and ASB fees are eligible to be waived for families who qualify for Free & Reduced lunch and complete the Consent to Share Eligibility Information Form.

Fees can be paid at the MMS office or online through your Family Access payment portal.

Team Placement

To maximize the experience for athletes, both individually and as a team, students will be assessed during the first week of practice and placed on a team to best fit their skill level: Varsity, Junior Varsity, C-Team or E- Team. Varsity, Junior Varsity, and C-Team will travel to other schools to compete. E-Team athletes will not travel, but will instead participate in an intra-mural type program that will focus on skill building.

Team placements will be communicated after the first week of practice. If a student athlete is not placed on a traveling team they will have the opportunity to participate in the E team program.
