Being a student-athlete at CHMS is a privilege. We expect all involved in sports to understand that they are students first, and athletes second. As a student athlete, you are representing our school and the greater community. Considering this, we expect all our student-athletes to give their best effort academically, behaviorally, and in terms of sportsmanship. Failure to do so can result in time away from their team until a behavior change is seen.
Parents/guardians also play a pivotal role in our athletics community. We expect that parents/guardians conduct themselves in a way that sets a positive example for our student-athletes. This includes respecting our coaches, opponents, and officials. Please remember to let the players play, the coaches coach, and the officials officiate.
The goal of athletics at CHMS is to foster a passion for teamwork, sportsmanship, hard work, and joy. Another goal is to offer everyone sufficient playing time, however this is not guaranteed. Please respect that many decisions go into determining playing time, many of which are not apparent to spectators. Please keep this in mind when supporting our athletic competitions. Thank you in advance for your support of and participation in athletics at CHMS.
CHMS prides itself on being a welcoming and inclusive community. We acknowledge and respect that not all people identify with the gender that they were assigned at birth. Student-athletes at CHMS are welcome to register for the team that aligns with their gender identity.
Athletics at CHMS are prioritized for 7th and 8th graders. In some cases, 6th graders can participate.
If your 6th grade student is interested, please feel free to complete this registration process now, but understand that this does not guarantee that there will be space for 6th graders to play. 6th grade families will receive confirmation one way or the other as we get closer to the season and we have a better sense of our over numbers.
If more student-athletes sign up than can be accommodated, or if it does not feel developmentally appropriate for a student-athlete to participate, unfortunately, cuts will need to be made. Please understand this before registering your student.
CHMS Athletics uses the Arbiter Sports online platform to communicate on a regular basis with families. Parents/guardians will only receive these email communications if their email addresses are listed under "Parent 1" or "Parent 2" during the registration process. If you only want one parent/guardian to receive email correspondence, then only fill in "Parent 1." If you want a second parent/guardian to also receive email correspondence, you will need to additionally add an email address under "Parent 2." NOTE- some email correspondence through Arbiter has been reported as landing in SPAM folders. If this happens to you, you will need to mark such emails as "Not Spam" in order for them to end up in your inbox.
Go Mountaineers!
