Spring is right around the corner, and with it comes another exciting season of Blue Devil Athletics. Brunswick High School and Middle School student-athletes are preparing to take the field, court, and track, as spring sports officially get underway. Below is important information for families and athletes regarding tryouts, practice start dates, expectations, and required athletic registration.


Important Athletic Registration Requirement

All middle school and high school student-athletes must be fully registered in FinalForms and have all required forms completed and approved prior to the first day of practice or tryouts.

Athletes will not be permitted to participate in any practice or tryout until FinalForms registration is complete. Families are encouraged to log in early to ensure all requirements are satisfied before the season begins.

All middle school and high school athletes must meet eligibility requirements.

Important reminders for players:
