2024 Viking Summer Athletics
For Athletic Participation
All athletes MUST have a Physical completed after April 14th of 2024 in order to tryout or participate for any sport. Please make sure this is completed before August 12th in order to start with your teams.
Vikings Track and Field
This summer the community worked together to train local pole vaulters. Kids from Marysville, St Clair, Yale, and Northern all trained together a couple hours a week. We were visited one week by our local pole vault legend and Olympic trials competitor Kenzie (Shell) Beukes. More than a dozen different kids took part in the free trainings. Just a great group of young men and women.
Vikings Football
The Marysville Viking Football Program has been lifting, conditioning and training since the end of last season in preparation for the 2024 season. The Vikings open the season against Almont and will be competing in the MAC Silver. Due to strong numbers the Vikings will field three squads with a JV “A,” JV “B,” and Varsity. The Varsity squad will be led by over thirty dedicated seniors.
Go Vikings!
Vikings Girls Basketball
Girls basketball traveled to Albion College, Frankfort, and Wayne State University. In between, the girls also volunteered to help with Marysville youth camp. The girls added in a challenging dune hike and the Arcadia marsh walk as well. We had a terrific group of hard working ladies and made some great memories together. Go Vikings!
Vikings Cheerleading
The cheer program had team tryouts in June and will field three teams this fall for the first time in decades. JV A & B and varsity have also attended summer camp. On the sidelines this fall lead by our four seniors, cheer will include the kids’ clinic participants, Jr Cheer and alumni teams.
Breakfast Club
Our Summer Breakfast Club workouts were joined by girls from many sports including girls basketball, softball, and volleyball. We went to the weight room most days and then finished in a variety of locations including the stadium and the gyms. The last week we had a bicycle workout then ran the hill at the park and had popsicles on the train. The last day we had an obstacle course at the beach and then a breakfast feast..
Go Vikings!

Notes From the Athletic Director
Athletic Director - Ryan Biewer
I hope everyone had a fantastic summer and enjoyed quality time with family and friends. The months of summer are a perfect opportunity to experience all the wonderful activities and attractions that Michigan has to offer!
Even though school was out, our athletes and coaches have been hard at work. I’m incredibly proud of the dedication shown by both the coaches and athletes during this offseason. Their commitment is truly impressive and reflects a work ethic and passion that extend far beyond the field or court.
Our football team has been busy in the weight room and competing in 7x7 games. The basketball and volleyball teams have been active with youth camps, team camps, and individual workouts. The cheer teams have been practicing on the mats, while cross country runners have been hitting the pavement around town. Our swimmers have been focusing on both weight training and swim workouts, and many of our athletes participated in the summer breakfast club workouts. Let's not forget the soccer team, which has been putting in evening practices and attending team camp.
While we might have missed some activities, the effort from our coaches to provide opportunities for our student-athletes to improve is what makes Marysville Viking Athletics truly exceptional.
In our September newsletter, look forward to previews of our fall sports and updates on the exciting new additions to our athletic facilities that will be a great boost for our programs.
Please contact the Athletic Office for any needs or to answer any questions.
Great day to be a VIKING!!!
