March marks the beginning of spring sports. As the days get longer and the sun starts shining, tennis players, golfers, baseball players, softball players, and track and field participants begin their seasons. 

The first thing to note if you wish to join a spring sport is that the deadline to turn in paperwork is Monday, March 2. Coaches are eager to have you participate but are unable to do so if you do not turn in your paperwork. If you have trouble paying for the athletic fee, see Athletic Director Mr. Blok, Ms. Smoot, or the bookkeeper. Do not let the fee hold you back! Involvement in a spring sport grows friendships, helps you relax, and gives you something to look forward to on a regular basis. And it can’t hurt to be physically active after sitting in a classroom for eight hours in a row.

Once the paperwork is out of the way, decide which spring sport to be involved in. A plethora of options is available. If you are curious who the coach of your sport of choice is, here is a list of all OSAA spring sports coaches and their available contact information:
