In order to try out for sports, a student must have a current physical on file. In addition to the physical, we also need concussion and insurance forms. All forms need to be turned in at least 1 week prior to the try out date. The Shepherd Middle School office is closed for the month of July, so all physicals should be turned in to the district office at 320 W. Main Street. Parents, make sure that you have signed your child's physical form. Please ensure all required paperwork is complete and submitted by the following deadlines:
Poms - July 18
Softball/Golf - July 22
Soccer - July 24
Baseball - July 29
Cross Country - July 30
Cheer - July 31
Girls Basketball - August 27
We look forward to seeing everyone at summer try outs!
Lockers emptied, hearts full.
We hope everyone has a wonderful summer!
