September 2024
SMCPS Athletics
The SMCPS fall sports season is underway. Teams have been selected and student-athletes and coaches have been preparing for their first official contest beginning September 6, 2024. I want to take the opportunity to wish all the student-athletes and coaches the best of luck this season. I am sure they will make their schools and their community proud. I also want to thank all of our parents and community groups for their ongoing support of SMCPS Athletics.

Preparing for the 2024 Season
Our facilities are being updated for the Fall Season. A new concession stand is currently being built to include restrooms. The scheduled opening for the concession stand is mid to late September. This is a welcome addition to our athletic complex. Please be patient as construction will be ongoing throughout the early part of the season.
Our athletes have been very busy preparing for the upcoming season by participating in our Twelve
Days of Summer Engagement Activities, attending Summer Camps, and participating in numerous
conditioning opportunities. The dedication and commitment of these student-athletes is truly
impressive. I am especially proud of the gains I have seen over the Summer. The student-athletes are very excited to start the 2024 Fall Campaign. While most of our Fall Sports begin after September 6, our golf team recorded the first wins of the 2024 season by defeating Patuxent, Westlake, and Huntingtown on 8/27/2024 with a score of 167.
Please remember that all tickets are sold using GoFan.co and we follow the SMCPS no bags, no
outside food or drink policy, which includes water bottles.
