There will be no off-season workouts for Middle School students on Tuesday, April 24th due to the half day for High School. Workouts for High School students on Tuesday will begin at 12:30 and end at 2:30 so that students will be able to ride the bus to North Campus, get picked up in car line, or attend After School.

Spring Sports Senior Night
Softball Senior Night has been moved to Tuesday, May 1st during the MAC Tournament at HGCS. More information will be announced soon.

Fall Sports Sign-Ups
As we near the conclusion of the 2017-2018 school year, it is time to begin looking forward to next school year and Fall 2018 athletics! Interest sign-ups for fall sports will begin on Monday, April 23rd and run through Friday, April 27th. Students can sign up in the HS office, MS hallway, or online using the Fall Sports Sign-up Form

Fall teams include: 
  • Varsity Football (10th-12th)
  • JV Football (7th-9th)
  • Varsity Men's Soccer (9th-12th)
  • MS Boys' Soccer (6th-8th)
  • Varsity Volleyball (9th-12th)
  • JV Volleyball (9th-10th)
  • MS Volleyball (6th-8th)
  • Varsity Women's Tennis (7th-12th)
  • Varsity Cheerleading (9th-12th)
  • MS Cheerleading (6th-8th)
  • Cross Country (6th-12th)

These sign-ups are to gauge interest for fall team tryouts and do not guarantee the student a spot on a team’s roster. All student-athletes will be evaluated during each team’s tryouts before the roster is finalized.

Fall sports workouts and tryouts will be held over the summer, and details will be announced in May, and there will be an informational meeting held over the summer before tryouts begin.

Students must be re-enrolled at HGCS for the 2018-2019 school year to participate in summer workouts and/or tryouts for any sport. Additionally, students must have a current athletic physical on file with the Athletic Trainer to participate in workouts, and all athletic forms (Athletic Physical Form, Athletic Participation Agreement, Athletic Medical Forms Packet) must be turned in on the first day of tryouts. These athletic forms will be updated for the 2018-19 school year and will be available for download in May on the Athletics page of the school website.  Athletic physicals must be signed by a doctor and are good for 13 months from the date on the physical form. All other athletic forms are good for one school year.

Off-Season Workouts for All Athletes
The HGCS Athletic Department is offering off-season conditioning workouts with Coach Pondo for ALL athletes grades 6th-12th not involved in a sport in the current season.
Coach Pondo has been doing these workouts for the last ten years and is BFS certified. Workouts will start Wednesday, January 3, 2018 and will be held Monday through Thursday each week in the field house after school until 5:00pm. The program Coach Pondo follows is the nationally recognized "Bigger, Faster, Stronger (BFS)" program, which is used by most high schools and small colleges/universities in the country. It is a great program for ALL athletes in all sports. Athletes must have a current physical on file with the Athletic Trainer in order to participate.
The off-season is the time for you to improve as an individual. It is our hope that all will take advantage of this program. This program is free of charge, convenient, and it works! Please contact Coach Pondo (mikepondo@hgchristian.org) with any concerns or questions. Also, please review Google Doc in the following link for additional information and instructions:
