High School Sports 

Preseason sports have been running smoothly and regular season opens on September 4th! To prepare, all coaches met to discuss program and team goals, expectations, and needs. In early August, fall coaches received their respective Maine Principals’ Association (MPA) Bulletins, MPA Coaches’ Handbooks, and links for required National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) training. During our preseason coaches’ meeting, coaches discussed and reviewed the following materials: 

● NFHS and Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) Heat Acclimatization Prevention Statement ● NFHS and SMAC Hydration Recommendations Statement 

● Coaches’ Evaluation Form 

● Policy GBEBB: STAFF CONDUCT WITH STUDENTS 

Parents and student athletes joined us to meet with the coaches on August 17. Groups met by sport and coaches explained their expectations with parents and players. Coaches shared the following materials: 

● Sports Contracts 

● Medical Eligibility Forms 

We are excited to start competing and are optimistic for successful seasons! Below are the schedules and the number of students rostered for each sport, as of August 26.

Middle School Cross Country 

Meets are currently being scheduled for the new team at CCS. As soon as other schools confirm our requests to join, additional meets will be added to this schedule. 

Middle School Cross Country Schedule 

Sept. 16 @ Maranacook 4:00 Sept. 17 @ Winslow 4:00 Oct. 16 @ Maranacook 4:00 Middle School Golf 

There is interest in resuming a middle school golf club at CCS. There are currently no meets at the middle school level, however players at CCS could be invited to practice at the same time as the high school team (with careful consideration that middle schoolers are not in competition with members of the high school team during practice). This model will provide middle school players with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals and gain valuable practice experience. 

Thank you again for your support as we strive to enhance our athletic programs and provide valuable experiences for our students!
