Fall sports seasons at MPHS for 2019 are approaching. Below are answers to some FAQs before practices can officially begin on 8/1/19. Please check back often as this list will be updated as we move closer towards August 1st. For answers to other questions, please email Athletic Director Brad Hinson at bradley.hinson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us.

What time does practice for my sport begin?  Practice times vary from team to team due to space, heat, etc. Please consult the list of fall coaches below and make contact prior to 8/1 if you have questions concerning practice. Tentative tryout schedules for August 1-3 will be updated as they become available.

JV/V Volleyball: veronica.sanders@cabarrus.k12.nc.us
JV/V Men’s Soccer: david.durham@cabarrus.k12.nc.us

Why do I need a “yellow card” to tryout or practice?  To avoid lost paperwork and confusion, your child will need a yellow card (also known as a “ticket to practice”) before they are allowed to participate. This system is managed by our Athletic Training staff and ensures all proper paperwork has been completed before your child joins a team. It also allows our coaches to coach and not be bogged down in paperwork. For yellow card questions, please email rachael.thompson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us or  steven.ashby@carolinashealthcare.org. The final day to GUARANTEE your child has a yellow card for the first practice is July 31st. Those waiting until August 1st will be UNABLE to receive a yellow card that day due to our training staff being involved in on-going practices. Any card not picked up by 7/31 will still be available  but will be contingent on the work/practice schedule of our training staff. Please contact our training staff for info or further questions.

What paperwork is required to receive a yellow card? A current physical and all required online participation forms must be completed. The online registration link will be available on the MPHS Athletic Website (in blue box at top of home page)

When is Fall Sports Picture Day?  Fall Sports Pictures will take place on Monday August 12th.  More details will come out once i receive more information- which should be first week of July! 

What if we’ve already planned a vacation during August? If you know you have a vacation coming up during August, that information needs to be shared with your coach well in advance. In certain circumstances, especially football, players must have a minimum number of practice days completed in order to participate. Again, please refer to the list above and contact your coach NOW to avoid any misunderstandings during the season.

What if a parent DID NOT attend the mandatory parent’s meeting at MPHS on July 30? If you do not attend the mandatory FALL SPORTS Parent Meeting your child will be ineligible. This meeting is scheduled for 6:30pm in the Auditorium. If you are in this situation where you cannot make it, please email bradley.hinson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us to make individual arrangements to satisfy this requirement.

Why do I have to attend a FALL SPORTS Parent Meeting? The NCHSAA requires each athletic department to hold a parent meeting  to go over eligibility, Gfeller-Waller (Concussion protocol & information), and hold individual team meetings this same evening.   During the breakout sessions, team specific information will be addressed by each head coach. 

When is our first game? Game schedules will be available on MPHS Athletic Website the first week of July. You should also follow us on Twitter @MPTigerPride or Instagram at @mphs_athletics for the latest changes, cancellations, etc.

What if my child did not pass enough classes or missed too many days to participate? Eligibility for 10th, 11th, and 12th graders is based on the Spring 19 semester. Academically, a student must pass 3-of-4 classes to be eligible. For attendance, a student in Cabarrus County must not have missed more than 13 days of school the previous semester. Eligibility in those two areas will be determined once tryouts begin. A student who tries out for a team may later find out they are ineligible once grades and attendance are certified. To avoid this situation, if you feel your child may be in danger of either threshold, please contact bradley.hinson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us immediately. Rising 9th graders are automatically eligible for the Fall 2019 semester.

What are admission prices to our games?
V Football: $7.00
JV Football: $6.00
V/JV Soccer: $5.00
Volleyball: $5.00

What are “team shops?”  In an effort to provide our parents, players and fans an opportunity to purchase higher-end, brand name Tiger merchandise (Adidas) at below-retail costs, we partner with Dales Sporting Goods to offer online options to make those purchases. Your coach will have this information available if your team is offering a team shop this season. Team Shops allow us to offer items which would otherwise not be cost-effective for our Athletic Boosters Club to keep on stock in our Spirit Barn. Your purchases through team shops allow our athletic program to buy our uniforms at discounted prices, keeping our Tigers looking good on the fields, courts,mats, pools, tracks and courses.
