Please email borchaja@champaignschools.org with any questions concerning athletics.  

 

6th grade parents:  We offer a competitive 6th grade only basketball team in partnership with the Champaign Park District.  We hold tryouts (AFTER tryouts for the 7th grade boys basketball team on Oct. 19 and 20) which are open to 6th grade girls and boys. The selected team will consist of 12 - 15 players.  In the past the games have been played on Monday and Wednesday nights.  This position is voluntary.  If you are interested please send me an email and I can give you more info about the schedule and time frame. As of today we do not have a coach.

 

Required paperwork for upcoming tryouts Boys Basketball, Wrestling and Volleyball:

Any student who is interested in trying out for any of our athletic teams must have the following 4 pieces of information on file by the deadline - do not turn in to the main office (scanning/emailing to me is perfect) or dropping the paperwork off in my room (122) works as well:

            2.  Current physical

            3.  Completed waiver form (attached)

            4.  Copy of your insurance or medical card

 

If you have turned a physical in to the main office please let me know so I can check the date.  I will still need the additional 3 pieces of required paperwork by the deadline.
