Athletes will not be allowed to tryout or practice until the entire packet is completed and collected by the CCHS administration. Athletes cannot turn in packets the morning prior to the first practice or to a coach on the first day of practice.

In addition, athletes must register in person during the established timeline or a $20 late fee will be assessed for registration after Aug. 15. All required forms must be completed and returning athletes must update and return new packets.

All athletes must have insurance coverage and provide proof and supply insurance information on he forms in the packet. Students who do not have insurance may purchase it from the school district.
