Re: Athletic Participation for Carmel Team Sports
Carmel fall sports for 2020-21 includes softball, volleyball, cheer, golf, and football. Dates and times of tryouts will be determined at a later and will be contingent on COVID-19 status moving forward. All teams are formed on a try-out basis. Your child's participation in Carmel's athletic program will afford them the opportunity to participate in Carmel's tradition of excellence in both academics and athletics. Our student athletes are provided the opportunity to grow in character, physical fitness, sportsmanship, and life skills. These qualities enable each athlete to become a contributing member of the Carmel family and our greater community.
Students who sign up to try-out for a Carmel spring sports team must turn in the required try-out forms and must meet CMS eligibility requirements in order to try-out. Students and parents are encouraged to submit a completed packet on-line at https://cmsathleticzone.sportngin.com/register/form/383206863 (See link below for tutorial on how to complete online registration). Students may also turn in their required forms in Carmel's front office. All pre-participation forms and a physical exam must be completed before trying-out. Try-out forms must be turned in no later than Tuesday, February 11th, 2020 for spring sports try-outs. Additionally, physical examination forms must be properly completed and hand delivered to front office staff to be placed in athletic director's mailbox. Incomplete forms will forfeit your chance to tryout.
Parents, if you have not already done so, you are encouraged to complete all paperwork online with the exception of your students physical examination. The physical examination if you have not already turned one in for the fall or winter must be hand delivered to front office. No student will be allowed to participate without a valid /current physical.
