Welcome to the 2026-2027 Fall Sports Season!

The excitement of a new school year begins with the start of fall athletics, and we are thrilled to welcome our student-athletes, coaches, families, and supporters back for another year of Brunswick Blue Devil Athletics!

Whether you are a returning athlete or participating in a Brunswick athletic program for the first time, we are excited to begin another season centered on competition, growth, leadership, and lifelong memories. Every practice, game, and team experience is an opportunity to develop not only as an athlete, but as a person.
At Brunswick Athletics, we believe our programs are about far more than wins and losses. We strive to develop student-athletes who demonstrate character, accountability, resilience, leadership, and teamwork both on and off the field. Our coaches are committed to creating positive, challenging environments where every student-athlete has the opportunity to grow.

Below you will find important information for every Brunswick High School and Brunswick Middle School fall sport, including first practice and tryout dates, times, locations, and other important reminders to help your family prepare for the start of the season.



Before You Participate
Before participating in practices or tryouts, you must have the following requirements completed:

-A current OHSAA Physical Examination must be on file with the Brunswick Athletic Office. Physicals are valid for 13 months and must be turned in as a hard copy to the Athletic Office. Please do not upload physicals to FinalForms.
-All FinalForms registrations and required parent/student signatures must be completed before participation.
Student-athletes will not be permitted to participate until all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
-Pay to Participate fees must be paid prior to each student-athlete's first regular season contest. Families of student-athletes participating in cut sports (boys and girls golf, boys and girls soccer, girls tennis, girls volleyball, and middle school volleyball) should wait until final team rosters have been announced before submitting payment. Payments may be made online through PaySchools or by submitting payment to the Athletic Office.
Completing these requirements before the season begins will help ensure a smooth start for every student-athlete.
