Returning KV Student-Athletes:

              This includes all students who have fully participated in a KV fall or winter sport during the 2024-25 school year. In order to participate in a KV Spring sport, you must complete PIAA Section 7 electronically through Big Teams Student Central. Please also make sure you update your Carpooling Form on Big Teams. You can use the link below and follow the instructions to complete PIAA Section 7 & update your carpooling form. 

              Paperwork Instructions

First-Time KV Student-Athletes:

              This includes students who have NOT participated on a fall or winter sports team during the 2024-25 school year. Please follow the directions in the link below to complete all required sports paperwork. 

              Paperwork Instructions

All Sports Paperwork is due before March 3^rd!

To check on your paperwork status, you can log into your Big Teams account at any time, click on Athletic Forms, and see what you’ve completed (in green) and what you still owe (in red). 

If you have any technical questions or issues operating your Big Teams account, please reach out to their support department: Big Teams Support .

ImPACT Testing

All spring student-athletes (except track & boys tennis) need a completed ImPACT baseline test on file before day one of spring sports. Directions on completing these baseline tests will be emailed to each student-athlete after sign-ups are completed on March 3^rd. If you’ve already taken an ImPACT baseline test this fall or winter, you do NOT need to take another one. 

Locations

Please note the locations of our practices & home contests this spring:

Times

You can find all spring sports schedules, including times for practices, tryouts, and games by viewing our website: https://keithvalleysports.org/ . Please review our schedule throughout the season, as there will certainly be some changes along the way. 

To summarize, all practices/tryouts will start at 2:20pm and end at 4:15pm. Student-athletes will be getting dismissed from class at 1:55pm and riding the bus over to their practice site at 2:05pm. 

For home contests, all student-athletes will be dismissed from class at 1:55pm for a 2:05pm departure.

For away contests, we will be continuing with our 1:35pm dismissal and 1:45pm departure. 

Pickup

We are asking all parents/guardians to arrange for a ride home with their student after all practices, and home & away games. We understand this may be difficult for many of you and we appreciate your flexibility with this. As we anticipate a greater need for carpooling this spring, we have provided a Carpooling Permission Form for you to complete in your Big Teams Student Central account. You can find this form under the “Athletic Forms” tab.

Please email me separately if you have any hardship with picking up your student after athletic events.

Coaches

We’re very grateful to have the following head coaches with us for this spring season. All of our head coaches enter the 2025 spring season with lots of prior experience both coaching and playing. I’m confident our student-athletes will learn a lot from them and enjoy their time participating. For any sport-specific questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to your Spring Head Coach directly.
