Weather: The safety of our athletes and families is of great importance.

If bad weather occurs quickly during the time of play, athletes will be in a safe place at their respective locations.

Fall

State law mandates you must have a current physical on file in order to tryout for any school sport. There will be no exceptions to this; therefore please make every provision to obtain the physical as soon as possible. In this current climate, there is a 30-day grace period allowed from the date of expiration from your last physical. For your convenience, we have checked with Novant and Atrium Health. They are now taking non-sick appointments. CVS Minute Clinic is also taking appointments. Visit the facility of your choice to obtain all the information needed. Also, some offices are also willing to conduct virtual appointments as long as your child’s immunization records are up to date. We will collect these forms on the day of tryouts. Please click here for the required physical form that must be submitted to tryout.

2020 Fall Tryouts

We are following the guidelines established by the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association as we proceed.

If you have any questions, contact the coach of the appropriate sport and they will assist you.

You must have a current physical on file. If you are new to athletics, please bring a current physical when you arrive. You can access a downloaded form at this link: https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1590162591/metrolinachristianorg/r1m9gexoeu8sxhzkpayj/NCISAA-202021-PPE-Form.pdf
Be advised, all student athletes need to bring their personal water bottle.
Per NCISAA, parents are not allowed at tryouts or practices as we do everything possible to mitigate Covid 19 and provide our athletes an opportunity to play.
