Welcome to the 2026-2027 Winter Sports Season!

Winter sports are approaching! Below is the preseason schedule for Brunswick High School basketball, swimming, gymnastics, wrestling, and bowling. Please review the participation requirements and contact the coach with any sport-specific questions.

Before You Participate

FinalForms: Student-athletes must be registered for their winter sport in FinalForms. All required forms must be completed and electronically signed by both the parent/guardian and student-athlete before participating in practices or tryouts.

Physicals: A current OHSAA physical must be on file with the Athletic Office. Physicals must be submitted as a hard copy; uploads to FinalForms are not accepted. Please allow two school days for processing before the first practice or tryout.

Pay to Participate: The high school fee is $150, payable through PaySchools Central. Student-athletes may participate in practices and scrimmages before payment. However, payment must be completed—or a payment plan established with the district—before the athlete’s first regular-season contest. Athletes who have not met this requirement will not be permitted to compete until it is satisfied.

For sports with cuts, please wait until final rosters are announced before paying.
