High school sports will start on August 17, and middle school sports will start on August 24.
All paperwork and your athletic fee are due on the first day of practice. Students may not participate until the necessary paperwork is complete. The physical is very important. Make your appointment with your doctor, since well child exams are covered by insurance.
Fees for high school students are $100 per athlete per sport, and for middle school students, $50 per athlete per sport (checks to CBCS, at first practice). All necessary paperwork is on the Gunnison school district website.
To find the forms, go to http://gunnisonschools.net/cbcs, then click on high school or middle school athletics link.
Information about practice times and locations, as well as current schedules, can be found on the above website.
