FinalForms

FinalForms is a program used by both middle and high schools for parents to register their children for sports participation or tryouts. Registration on FinalForms opens on June 1. If your child is new to middle school sports, please visit the FinalForms website to get them registered. If your child is unsure about which sport they want to participate in, you can still complete the registration and leave the sport selection blank until a decision is made. Once a sport is selected, additional forms will need to be completed, and you will start receiving emails from the Athletic Department and coaches with important information.
