Sport Transfers

As the season ends for fall sports, if students are wishing to switch to another sport, they will need to complete the Sports Transfer Google Form. They will receive the link to that form from their coach. In order to complete the form, students must use their school email accounts. Their responses will automatically be sent to their guardian's email address. If their guardian has questions or wishes to change something, they will need to contact their student's school counselor.


Once the outgoing and incoming coaches both approve of the sports transfer, the counselors will make necessary changes to the student's schedule.
