Concord Athletics

As most of you know, the Big 8 Conference, including Concord, will be charging admission to home events for spring sports this year. The cost of admission is $5. You can pay with cash or GoFan. If you don't already have a family pass, I highly recommend purchasing a family pass for spring sports. They are available for $40 and this includes all baseball/softball games and home track meets. This does not include MHSAA districts or regionals hosted by Concord. The gate will be closed at the back of the elementary and by the administration building on game days to funnel people to Monroe St. to make it easier to charge admission. If you would like to purchase spring passes, contact Teresa Couling in the high school office or Matt Lehman. Thanks! Matt Lehman, AD
