**Physicals are a MUST DO before August 22.  You can go to your regular doctor, a walk in clinic or one of the HFH pop ups.  These need to be uploaded to Big Teams and approved before athletes can practice with the team.

**Big Teams is the online portal that our district uses to manage sports forms for ALL sports (update once a year and you’re good to go for the whole school year!)  Please use this link BigTeams Student Central Parent - Create Your Student Account Help Guide.pdf to set up/update an account.  You will select Western High School for your athlete.  This is easier to complete on a computer than a phone.  

**Join our team Remind with this link https://www.remind.com/join/wms2m

**First Day of Practice is August 22 from 2:45-4.  Athletes will meet in Coach Rice’s room (the Coaching Room near the front office) briefly before heading outside for practice.

**Parent Meeting is August 22 at 4:15 in the PD room of the Middle School.  The PD room is located across from the cafeteria.  You may enter from the tennis court parking lot.  

**Schedule can be found on this link '24 SEASON SCHEDULE.  The competitions that have a TBD start time could change.  

**We know we have many athletes who also play club soccer in the fall and want to be clear, dual sporting is allowed with the understanding that the SCHOOL SPORT (i.e. Cross Country) takes precedence.  Athletes need to communicate early with the coaching staff if there are conflicts.

We look forward to seeing you all soon!
