In an effort to control this pandemic and flatten the curve of any and all coronovirus cases; Minneapolis Public Schools Athletic Department has adopted a COVID-19 Athletic Preparedness Plan.
The Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Athletics Department offers 35 high school programs for students in grades 7-12. Bring completed 2020-21 Athletic Forms (located in the Register Here! tab) to your high school athletic director prior to participation. Winter Registration for boys and girls basketball, boys and girls hockey, boys and girls Nordic sking, boys swimming and wrestling is now open; contact your high school athletic director for details. For information on boys and girls Alpine skiing contact Head Coach Mark Conway at 612-275-8392.
For information regarding Middle School Athletic Programming contact Antony M. Fisher at antony.fisher@mpls.k12.mn.us.
Athletic Physicals
All student participants are required to have an up to date athletic physical on file at their school. Please understand that an athletic physical is different than a well child exam. Minnesota State High School Athletic Physical Forms are located in the Athletic Registration Packet. Athletic participation physicals should be scheduled with the student's primary care physician and may be available at School Based Clinics; contact the school directly for information. High School Athletic Trainers will provide their services to all registered high school student/athletes as well as optional ImPACT concussion baseline tests.
Educational Benefits
Families are reminded to complete Educational Benefits Application in order to qualify for reduced athletic participation fees. The Application for Educational Benefits can be completed at SchoolCafé.com.
An eligibility notice letter will arrive in the mail within 10 business days.
Transportation is not provided to practices for any student in any grade but is provided to away games with pickup and drop off at a MPS high school or predesignated location. The same transportation policy applies to middle school students participating in high school sports.
"Winning in the 9th" was developed in partnership with the Minnesota Twins and outlines the importance of 9th-grade students starting their high school experience with positive academic success!
