Volunteers Needed for Winter Events
The HGCS Athletic Department and AAA Booster Club need the help of volunteers to assist in different areas (admissions table, concessions, etc.) at athletic events during the winter season. Please take a look at our HGCS Sign-Up Genius page and sign up to volunteer at HGCS events this winter! We are especially in need of volunteers for our home basketball games on November 29 and December 9.

Athletic Fees Due
All athletic fees for winter teams are due before the first game of the season. Please turn in fees to the coach or the Athletic Office in the FLC. The fee for a MS/JV player is $95, and the fee for a Varsity player is $105. Athletes playing their second sport of the school year may receive a 50% discount on the winter player's fee. Any athletes with outstanding fees by the first game of the season will not be allowed to play until all fees have been paid.

Online 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.
