Winter Sports are Coming Up!

Winter sports begin on October 30th. If your student plans on playing sports this year, they must have the athletic pack emailed or brought into the Activities Office before the start date! If the packet is not received by that date, they will not be able to practice or participate.

In this packet, there are instructions on how to complete the ATS online profile, which needs to be done every year by every student.

Also in the packet are the instructions on how to complete the BrainBook. This only needs to be completed once and will not be required year after year.

Click Here to download the packet. You may fill it out and email it to Bert Carrillo or you may bring it directly to the Activities Office. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Bert Carrillo at 520-584-7707. LETS GO SABERCATS!

Please visit our calendar for dates and events. Our athletes love to see supporters in the stands!
