Team Registration Process
TEAM ROSTERS/FORMS
EACH team member must have a medical release, and a media release permission form, and coaches must provide a roster for each team competing (varsity and JV). A Principal's signature is required at the bottom of each roster submitted. Please alphabetize your forms and divide them into 2 separate piles - one for Medical Release Forms and one for Media Release Forms. We will be checking these against your team roster(s).

Using this option would require you to bring only the medical release forms to the registration table when you pick up your team packet.
