CCS TO DELAY SUMMER ATHLETIC WORKOUTS
Summer workouts for high school fall sports and bands will be postponed until July 20, 2020. This decision is being made out of an abundance of caution. Our decision to delay summer workouts aligns with Governor Roy Cooper’s directives for the state regarding the COVID-19 pandemic as the numbers of positive cases of coronavirus continue to rise.
As always, Cabarrus County Schools will continue to follow the guidance of health officials to protect the health and safety of our students and staff. We look forward to getting our athletes back on campus safely and will update you should these plans change.
This mandatory form (NCHSAA Initial Screening Questions for Students to Participate in Athletic Activity During COVID-19) must be filled out, signed by both parent and student, and turned in on the first day of summer workouts. This form must be completed, signed, and dated on the actual first day of workouts (July 20th) and not before.

2. NCHSAA Pre-participation Medical Information Form: If your student athlete had a physical on or after March 1, 2019, they will not need the “doctor part” of NCHSAA’s pre-participation medical information form. Please note that the form is 2-sided. One side is the doctor exam, the other side is completed by the parent and athlete. The parent/ athlete side of the medical information form is still required for participation in 2020-21 and is included in the online registration forms.
3. NCAA Division 1 & 2 Eligibility and Grades: For those student athletes wanting to compete at the NCAA Division 1 or Division 2 level, please reference the linked document published by the NCAA on how student athletes’ core course grades will be handled for the COVID-19 pandemic. I encourage you to read the document and pay close attention to the pass/fail information on the top of page 4 as this impacts students currently in grades 9, 10, and 11. If you have questions, I encourage you to contact the NCAA at the number on the top of the front page. NCAA Eligibility Center - COVID-19
4. 2020-21 Season Passes: The current plan is to begin selling season passes on August 1st. This year, Mt. Pleasant HS will be using Mobile Ticketing through Ticket Spicket for its season passes(there will be no hard cards). You will be able to purchase your season pass from your own home and have it available on your phone immediately. Your pass will be on your phone and presented at the ticket gate upon entrance to MPHS athletic events. More information on season passes and Ticket Spicket will be shared closer to the August 1st time period.
5. COVID-19 Resources: Please click on the link below for some valuable information provided by Atrium Health. Covid Resources
6. Why do I need a “blue card” to tryout or practice? To avoid lost paperwork and confusion, your child will need a blue card (also known as a “ticket to play”) before they are allowed to participate in a team tryout or practice. This "blue card" 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 blue card questions, please email head ATC Rachael Thompson at rachael.thompson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us. Please note at this time, due to Covid-19 concerns and our campuses being closed, card pickup/distribution procedures are not yet available.
7. What paperwork is required to receive a blue card? A current physical and all required online participation forms must be completed.
8. 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 contact list above and contact your coach NOW to avoid any misunderstandings during the season.
9. Why is it mandatory to attend a team coaches meeting? The NCHSAA requires each coach to hold a preseason meeting with all parents. Your attendance is required. At this meeting, team specific information will be addressed. These will be scheduled by the coach and each team’s meeting time and date will vary. The mandatory concussion meeting is also required by the North Carolina General Assembly as part of their Gfeller-Waller legislation.
10. When is our first game? Game schedules will be available on the Mount Pleasant HS Athletic website. You should also follow us on Twitter @MPTigerPride, Instagram @mphs_athletics for the latest athletic news, changes, cancellations, etc.
11. What are admission prices to our games(new for 2020)?
V Football: $7.00
JV Football/Soccer/Volleyball: $6.00
12. 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 Dale's 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 Store. 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.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The future of the high school sports spring season and the basketball state championships became more bleak on Monday afternoon.
Gov. Roy Cooper announced at a press conference on Monday afternoon that schools statewide will be closed until at least May 15. Shortly after, N.C. High School Atheltic Association Commissioner Que Tucker announced all NCHSAA athletics would be suspended until at least May 18.
"I'm not ready to give up on this year of school, however we know the effects of this pandemic will not subside any time soon," Cooper said, adding that if guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention changes, his executive order closing schools could also change.
Tucker said the governor and other state leaders will offer guidance over the next few weeks, which the NCHSAA board of directors will use to inform future decisions.
"Such decisions will include the possible resumption of spring sports competition and the possibility of holding the state basketball championships," Tucker said. "While we remain hopeful that we will be able to resume competition, particularly for our senior student-athletes, we also recognize the need to protect the health and safety of our students, coaches and the communities we serve."
Earlier in the day, Tucker released a statement that addressed what the NCHSAA may do if school does not resume later this academic year.
“We are continuing to assess the COVID-19 situation that has closed schools and forced suspension of interscholastic athletics," NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker said in a written statement on Monday afternoon.
The general rule of thumb for high school sports is if school is closed, athletics don't happen either. There have been exceptions to that rule during extended closures before, but Tucker thinks that's unlikely in this case.
NCHSAA has suspended all sports & activities until April 6th 2020.
