All fall athletes must pay the player's fee before the first game of their season. This year's fee is $95 for MS and JV teams and $105 for Varsity teams. Athletes who have not paid their fee before their first game will not be allowed to play in any games until the fee has been paid.

Volunteers Needed for Fall Events
The HGCS Athletic Department and AAA Booster Club need the help of volunteers to assist in different areas (admissions booth/table, concessions, apparel, etc.) at athletic events during the upcoming fall season, including football, soccer, volleyball, and cross country events. Please take a look out our HGCS Sign-Up Genius page and sign up to volunteer at HGCS events this fall!


New Athletic Calendar
Beginning this school year, the Athletic Department will no longer use Schedule Star. We are currently transitioning to Google Calendar for our athletic schedule. This will allow our schedule to be more compatible with our school's academic calendar and website, and it will be more mobile-friendly for our students and parents. To access the athletic schedule, please visit the Athletics page of the school website and click on the "Athletics Calendar" link on the left side of the page. On this page, you will see the Athletic Events Calendar at the top. This calendar will show all sports teams, meetings, and Athletic Department events by default. To narrow this down to specific teams, click on the drop-down menu arrow in the top right corner of the calendar and check or uncheck whichever teams you prefer. Additionally, there is a Practice Calendar below the Athletic Events Calendar on the same page. This calendar will show scheduled practice times for all teams by default, but can also be narrowed down to specific teams. You can add either of these calendars from the website to your own personal calendar on your computer or mobile device by clicking "+GoogleCalendar" at the bottom of the calendar. You can view additional details about each game/event, such as start/end times, locations, dismissal times, etc., by clicking on the game/event title.

Sign Up for Remind Notifications
Notifications about athletic event cancellations, changes, and reminders are sent out via text through Remind. You must sign up with Remind to receive these text notifications on your phone. To sign up with Remind, text @hgcslions to the number 81010.
