Tickets for Clarke Middle Athletics Events

Welcome to Clarke Middle School Athletics, Owl Nation!!

Students who would like to participate in sports here at CMS need to meet the following requirements:

Must attend Clarke Middle School
Must have a copy of their current Physical, signed by a doctor, on file with CMS (these last one year)
Must have a completed Parental Consent Form turned in to CMS
Must remain academically eligible (cannot be failing more than one class at Report Card). We use the previous quarter's grades to determine eligibility for the next quarter (Ex: 1st Quarter Grades are used to determine eligibility for Winter Sports like Basketball and Cheer, which take place during the 2nd Quarter)

Any student without BOTH of these completed documents (Physical & Parental Consent Form) will NOT be allowed to participate in tryouts, practices, or games.

Helpful Tips:

If at all possible, provide Clarke Middle School with a COPY of your child's current physical (rather than the original copy). This makes it easier for you to have access to it if they need it for any other club sports, high school events, etc.
Physicals remain current for one year from the date of the exam & doctor's signature - many people find it helpful to get their exam done during the summer so that their student has one for the whole school year.

Clear Bag Policy in effect for sporting events:

Clarke Central High School will implement a Clear Bag Policy at all sporting events. This policy will be similar to policies in place at college and professional stadiums and coliseums.

There will be no entrance into sporting events without an approved bag.

ALL CMS home games for Volleyball, Basketball, and Soccer will be hosted by Clarke Central this school year.

The following types of bags are permitted inside of CCHS sporting events: Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12”x6”x12”; One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags; Small clutch bags, with or without a handle or strap, that do not exceed 4.5”x6.5”.
