Most
of our
student-athletes have already turned in the proper forms and have a
valid
physical on file in the nurse’s office. If any forms are still missing,
that
player will not be allowed to practice on the first day. If you are not
sure
that your student-athlete’s forms are in, please contact the Athletic
Office and
we will check our records. As always, please contact the Athletic Office
(651-683-1717) if you have any questions or concerns.
We
are looking forward to a great spring season.
Thank you for all you do to support your student-athlete.----------------------------------------------------
