Re: Athletic Participation for Carmel Team Sports

Carmel  winter sports includes woman  and men's basketball. Winter sports try-outs will be held on Friday, November 15, 2019 after school. 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 winter 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, November 12, 2019 for winter 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. Students who do not have access to a printer at home may request these forms from Carmel's front office.

Coaches will have an interest meeting the last week of October for  all students who are interested in trying out for basketball. This meeting will happen  during school to give students all necessary information regarding basketball try-outs. All student-athletes should attend if they are interested.

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, must be hand delivered  to  front office.     No   student   will be allowed to participate without a  valid /current physical.
