We are hosting our Fall Sports Registration Night Thursday, July 18th at 6 PM at the Power Campus Student Union. Fall Sports are open to all incoming 5th-12th Graders. This Fall we will be offering the following sports options:
- Junior High (5th-8th Graders)
- Flag Football (Boys)
- Volleyball (Girls)
- Swim (Co-Ed)
- Color Guard
- Cheerleading
The Fall Sports Registration Night is a great time to meet the coaches, gather information about practice times, participation fees, and learn about our athletics program as a whole. The forms needed for Fall Registration can be found on our website at: https://sports.santancharterschool.com/
Our Family Pass option is for all High School level games (Varsity and JV). We do charge gate admission at any home game. This is a great opportunity to order a pass and not have to pay at each game. It covers any High School game for the Fall Season (Football and Volleyball).
If you have any further questions, please reach out to our Athletic Director Ms. Tatum at ntatum@santancs.com
