Times
You can find all spring sports schedules, including times for practices, tryouts, and games by viewing our website: https://keithvalleysports.org/ . Please review our schedule throughout the season, as there will certainly be some changes along the way.
To summarize, all practices/tryouts will start at 2:40pm and end at 4:30pm. The only exception is Boys & Girls Track which will run from 3:10pm – 5:00pm. All non-track student-athletes will be getting dismissed from class at 1:55pm and riding the bus over to their practice site at 2:05pm. Track athletes will be dismissed at our normal time of 3:00pm.
For home contests, all student-athletes will be dismissed from class at 1:55pm for a 2:05pm departure.
For away contests, we will be continuing with our 1:35pm dismissal and 1:45pm departure.
Pickup
We are asking all parents/guardians to arrange for a ride home with their student after all practices, and home & away games. We understand this may be difficult for many of you and we appreciate your flexibility with this.

Looking forward to a great spring!
