Have something you want us to share? Know an athlete that hit a milestone or have a picture of one of our Mustangs in action? Let us know! In the meantime, feel free to email a photo and the information to Mrs. O'Kelly at jokelly@clioschools.org.
Registration for high school winter sports is open now, and each sport has its own deadline. Hockey closes first, on Friday, October 16, with tryouts beginning October 26. Competitive cheer, boys and girls bowling, and boys basketball close Friday, October 30. Cheer tryouts and bowling practice begin November 9, and boys basketball tryouts begin November 11. Wrestling and girls basketball close Friday, November 6, and both start November 16.
A parent or guardian needs to do the registering. Go to go.arbitersports.com, create the family Arbiter account, and add your athlete to it. Students should not create their own account or register themselves. One family account covers every child in your household, so if you already set one up for fall, you can use it again!
Before you start, have these ready: your athlete's six-digit school ID number (the same digits that begin their school email address), a physical dated April 15, 2026 or later, the name and phone number of an emergency contact, and insurance information if it applies. The physical gets uploaded under Participant Information.
Make sure you choose the high school section and finish every required item. A registration that is started but not finished doesn't count. The two things we see get registrations rejected are uploading anything other than the physical in that spot, and choosing the middle school section. Athletes registered under the middle school never show up on the high school coach's roster.
Need a hand? Come see us! We'll be at Clio Middle School near the main entrance on Wednesday, October 14 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, and in the Clio High School athletic office on Thursday, October 15 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. Any parent is welcome, middle or high school. We'll have devices available if you need one. Make sure you can get into your email account (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), because Arbiter sends a confirmation email during setup and that's the one step we can't do for you.
The athletic fee is $100 per school year with a $250 family cap. If your athlete paid this fall, they're covered for winter and spring. If they haven't played a sport yet this year, don't pay now. The fee isn't owed until your athlete is on a roster. If you still owe for fall, that's due before the first contest. You can pay online at tinyurl.com/caspayments or in person at the HS Athletic Office (Mon/Wed/Fri 9-3, Thurs 1-3). Families who qualify for Free and Reduced-Price Lunch may be eligible for scholarship assistance, so just give us a call.
Please don't wait! You must complete registration within your sport's window and be approved before your athlete can participate. Registering early gives us time to let you know if a physical is missing or something didn't go through. If any part of this is giving you trouble, call the athletic office at 810-591-1390. We'd much rather help you through it now than turn an athlete away later. Go Mustangs!
