              Paperwork Instructions

All Sports Paperwork is due before February 27^th!

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 questions, please email our athletic trainer, Mr. Alex Ruxton: aruxton13@gmail.com .

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 February 27th. 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 off-site 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. 

For those teams practicing at KV, students will dismiss at 3pm and practice from 3pm-5pm. 

Pickup

Parents may pick up their student-athlete after all KV sporting events. We will also have a 4:30pm late bus stopping at each park & KV to take home any students who need the late bus. As we anticipate a greater need for carpooling this spring, we are providing a Carpooling Permission Form for you to complete in your Big Teams Student Central account.
