Also, the volleyball match scheduled for Tuesday, September 22nd is postponed along with the HS/MS cross country meet on Thursday, September 24th as they were scheduled to be at Springport.

Due to low numbers, we have decided to cancel middle school tackle football and run a flag football program in its place. This will open for any student in grades 6th-8th. The first practice will be on Wednesday, September 16th. Practices for middle school flag football will be 3:15-5:00 every Monday and Wednesday at the practice football field. All athletes need to bring a water bottle, mask, and spikes are recommended. Practices will include football drills, conditioning, and learning the 8-man football playbook. We will play intramural football games and a schedule for that will be provided in the very near future. This incredibly fun opportunity is FREE to anyone interested, but we need maximum participation to kick this off and keep the athletes interested in football. The season will run 7 weeks with the last game on Wednesday, October 28th.

The Concord Middle School sports teams are still looking for student-athletes in grades 7-8th to play MS volleyball and MS football. Currently, we are seeing low numbers in all sports and currently we are in danger of not having a MS football team. You will need a sports physical to participate. If you had one last year, you will only need to fill out a health questionnaire. If you are interested, see Mr. Lehman tomorrow in school or contact him at matt.lehman@concordschools.net
