PARENT NIGHT PRESENTATION

Hello Tiger families: Please see below for important athletics reminders:

1. Online athletics registration for the 2021-22 season is now open. In order to participate in any athletics activity at Mount Pleasant, you must be registered and have a current physical on file. Click HERE to complete your registration for the upcoming school year. For questions concerning physicals, please email rachael.thompson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us. 

2. TICKET 2 PLAY DISTRIBUTION: Wednesday & Thursday, July 28-29 from 9-11:30am in the commons at the front of the school.  In order to participate in a fall sport (Cheer, Football, Volleyball, Cross-Country, Women's Tennis, Women's Golf, Men's Socccer), you MUST have a Ticket 2 Play card in your possession on the first day of tryouts.  MPHS T2P Cards, issued by the Athletic Training staff at Mount Pleasant, are your "Ticket to Play." Having a card tells your sport's coach on tryout day that you are REGISTERED for athletics at Mount Pleasant and that you have a current PHYSICAL on file. To expedite distribution, please make sure you are registered and have a physical on file prior to pickup.  If you have questions or concerns, please email rachael.thompson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us prior to NOON on 7/27.  The only other opportunity to have your T2P card distributed will be at the fall sports parent meeting on 7/27 at 6:30pm in the MPHS Auditorium. (Coaches of your sport will distribute during breakout meetings) 

3. ELIGIBILITY:  Fall sports eligibility for rising 10th-12th graders is based on your child's Spring 2021 grades. In order to be eligible, your child must have passed 3-of-4 classes and have earned enough credits during the previous school year to be promoted.  Academic eligibility may not be checked until after tryouts have started.  If you have concerns, please email bradley.hinson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us.  Rising 9th graders are automatically academically eligible for the Fall 2021 sports season.

4. Mandatory Fall Sports Parent Meeting:  There will be a mandatory athletic parents meeting on Tuesday, July 27 at 6:30pm in the Mount Pleasant Auditorium.  A parent of all fall athletes should plan to attend.  This meeting is required in order to participate in NCHSAA athletics.   There will be two other meetings scheduled closer to winter and spring seasons for parents of those student-athletes to attend at that time.  

5. "MEET THE TIGERS" NIGHT 2021:  You're invited to "Meet the Tigers Night on Wednesday, 8/11 at 6pm in Tiger Stadium at Larry Honeycutt Field.  Admission is $5.00 (digital tickets ONLY) and tickets can be purchased HERE.  This is open to everyone in the community and this is a community-oriented event and will feature the MPHS JV & Varsity Football Scrimmage.  We will also be introducing all our fall sports teams throughout the evening. Concessions and spirit wear will be available from the MPHS Athletic Boosters. There will be prizes and giveaways. We encourage the community to come out and visit our great facilities as we celebrate the return of athletics and gear up for an anticipated return to normal spectator attendance for fall sports.

Good Afternoon Tiger Families - The final season of this crazy COVID year of Tiger Athletics is underway with baseball, wrestling, women's tennis and track & field getting started over the past week.  We've had a year to be proud of, and we're excited to be planning and getting ready for the 2021-2022 Year. With that in mind, I wanted to send some notes and reminders as we move towards optional summer workouts and fall tryouts. Please read this information carefully:

1. ACADEMICS: Per NCHSAA guidelines, in order for a student to be eligible to compete in athletics, they must pass 3-of-4 classes during the previous semester.  With that said, the current Spring semester's final grades will determine eligibility for the fall and winter seasons. For those students in danger of not meeting the 3-of-4 standard, now is the time to consult with your coaches, teachers and guidance counselors to determine a course of action that will enable you to pass 3-of-4 and maintain eligibility.

2. ATHLETICS REGISTRATION: In order to participate in any workouts or athletic practices, a student-athlete must be registered for sports at Mount Pleasant HS. Online registration for athletics at Mount Pleasant for the 21-22 school year is not yet available. Once the online link for 21-22 registration goes live (typically around June 1st), another email will be sent with that information.

3. OPTIONAL SUMMER WORKOUTS: Summer workouts for Tigers sports teams are allowed to begin on June 7th. While not all sports will conduct summer skill development, many will. Participation in summer workouts is not required of any student-athlete.  To find out more about summer team plans, please contact your sport's coach at the following email addresses:

4. SUMMER DEAD PERIODS: The NCHSAA institutes two "dead weeks" during the summer to allow for family vacations. No skill development will occur during these dead weeks. This year, those weeks are July 4-11 and July 19-25.

5. EXPIRING PHYSICALS: Due to Covid-19, for the 20-21 school year only, the NCHSAA granted an extension on many physicals that will carry through June 30th. However, that extension will end on 6/30/21 and those physicals will need to be renewed once they expire. Please note, THE NCHSAA PHYSICAL FORM HAS CHANGED.

    b. Click HERE for the Spanish version of the new physical form.

6. FALL SPORTS OFFICIAL TRYOUTS/PRACTICES: Official fall sports practice/tryouts are scheduled to begin on Monday, 8/2/21. See below for a list of fall sports coaches. Please contact your coach above concerning fall sports practices and tryouts for teams. Teams: Football, Women's Golf, Women's Tennis, Men's Soccer, Cheerleading, Cross Country (Men's & Women's), Volleyball

7. PARENT/BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT: While this year has been anything-but-normal, we truly appreciate all our parents and supporters who have reached out this year and helped our athletics program navigate through a difficult opening. We are anxiously anticipating a return towards a more normal athletics experience this fall. We encourage you to become involved in our Athletics Boosters Club. For more information, please email shawne1230@gmail.com.

    a. There are also many opportunities to become involved in our sports program outside of participating in the Boosters Club. Things such as sponsoring team meals, photography, volunteering with game operations (public address announcing, scoreboard operations, etc.), providing a helping hand to facilities maintenance, or business involvement are critical to providing our students a first-class experience. For more details on opportunities such as those or other skills that you may have to offer to our program, please contact Athletic Director, Brad Hinson, at bradley.hinson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us

It's been a great year to be a Tiger and looking forward to a normal and GREAT 2021-2022. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Have a great weekend, GO TIGERS!! 

-Brad Hinson, Athletic Director
