Winter Sports Information 2023

Written by Manny Oudin | Nov 10, 2023 9:30:46 PM

We are looking forward to the beginning of the winter sports season.  Practices for the Merle-Smith Campus and the Historic Downtown Campus athletic teams will begin on Friday, November 17, 2023.  The Swain Campus programs will not begin practices until Monday, November 27, 2023.

All student-athletes must have submitted the PIAA paperwork before the first day of practice.  Parents and students need to have created or updated their information on Big Teams/Student Central (formerly PlanetHS).  Visit our Pre-Season Physicals and Registration page for additional information. If you have any additional questions, reach out to our St. Luke’s Sports Medicine Athletic Trainers, Ms. Shelby Benner at sbenner@mamail.net (Merle-Smith), Mr. Andrew Neeld at aneeld@mamail.net (Historic Downtown), or Ms. Stasia Burroughs at sburroughs@mamail.net (Swain Campus) with questions.

We conducted athletic team sign-ups on the Merle-Smith Campus and the Downtown Campus for our programs.  The Swain Campus will conduct a separate sign up to gauge our Swain community’s winter sports interest.  I encourage student-athletes to contact the coaches to make them aware or confirm their interest and to ask about any sport-specific questions. I am looking forward to a successful winter season!
