As we start to wrap up the fall season we are fast approaching the winter season! Just a reminder that ALL of our student athletes must have a final forms account with a current sports physical form and all necessary signatures updated for this year. A current sports physical form needs to be dated on or after April 15th 2024 to be current for the 2024-2025 school year. Make sure you have selected the sport in which you plan to join or tryout for. Final Forms- bangortownship-mi.finalforms.com

BOYS AND GIRLS YOUTH BASKETBALL INFORMATION Hello everyone, we would like to announce our new partnership with Michigan Youth Basketball for our K-6 Youth Leagues. Our goal is to have any child who wants to play basketball be given the opportunity to do so. The league itself will run from January 11th-March 1st every Saturday at both John Glenn High School and Garber High School for Grades K-6. Your practice would be one hour before your game held at the same school's Middle School gym. There will be MHSAA officials for each game. Your players will be on a team with their school and grade partners. There is a Boys league and a Girls league. The program schedules these so there should be as little concern about same family game times being similar or conflicting. They are looking for volunteer coaches who are willing to help develop players first. Cost of the league is $145 per player but have multi family discounts as well as discounts based on family income. Financial aid is available through the athletic offices. This is a great opportunity to bring the best into our community and get the best out of our kids. More information on the flyers provided
