Good morning Tiger Athletics families:

Thanks for your continued patience and support as we begin our season of athletics at Mount Pleasant High School during this pandemic. Volleyball and Cross-Country have had successful starts to their seasons and we look forward to Swimming's first official competition coming up next week. For the latest updates and information, don't forget to subscribe to our primary social media accounts: @MPTigerPride on Twitter, @mphs_athletics on Instagram. 

There will be a NCHSAA Dead Period for out-of-season sports from 12/7-9. There will be no workouts for teams not currently in-season. Only volleyball, cross-country, swimming, basketball and cheer may practice during the dead period. 

Please see a few important updates below:

1. JV and Varsity Men's and Women's Basketball and Basketball Cheer can officially begin tryouts on Monday (12/7).  If you plan to play men's basketball, women's basketball or participate in basketball cheer for Mount Pleasant HS this season and have not yet contacted a coach for information, you should do so immediately.  Please contact Coach Allen- nicholas.allen@cabarrus.k12.nc.us  (Women's JV and V Basketball), Coach Barbee jody.barbee@cabarrus.k12.nc.us (Men's JV and V Basketball), or Coach Daquila rebecca.daquila@cabarrus.k12.nc.us (JV and V Cheer) for more information. To participate in tryouts, you MUST be REGISTERED FOR ATHLETICS and HAVE A CURRENT PHYSICAL ON FILE.  For questions concerning registration or physicals, please email Head Athletic Trainer Rachael Thompson- rachael@thompson2@cabarrus.k12.nc.us.

2. As we near the end of the first semester, please focus on the academic imperative of being a Student-Athlete.  In order for a student to be eligible to participate at a NCHSAA member school, you must pass a "minimum load" of classes to be eligible for the next semester.  In all CCS high schools, that minimum load is met by passing 3-out-of-4 classes. The second semester at WCHS will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 19th, 2021. In order to participate in any school sports after 1/19/21, you must be eligible, including meeting the academic standards. For a complete look at the eligibility standards for NCHSAA sports, please click HERE.

3. Due to current North Carolina spectator limitations for events, our fans in attendance are limited to home parents only. However, our gym and stadium events are live-streamed by the NFHS Network and available by subscription HERE. This subscription includes all away games versus Cabarrus County teams as well as many other schools in the area. If interested, please be sure to subscribe by clicking the "Mount Pleasant" tab at the link above so a portion of your subscription fee is returned to our athletic department.

Again, thanks for your continued patience and understanding and have a great weekend! It's a great time to be a Tiger!

Go TIGERS!!

Summer workouts for high school fall sports and bands will be postponed until August 10, 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.
