Here is what you need to do before your first day of practice:
1) Make sure you have an updated physical. These are valid for 18months. Please make sure you give yourself time to schedule a new one if needed
2) Register in Arbiter. This new registration system is different from the old "BIGTEAMS" system we have used so ALL ATHLETES will need to register. Parents create an account and everything is done from that one platform. https://share.google/96tet15xq3cnYxEjs
Having trouble? Try this link: arbiter.io
3) Sign up on SportsYou (code SJJL58HW). We will use this platform to communicate to all athletes and parents everything Wasilla XC including practice times and locations, theme days, fundraising opportunities, and other important dates!
