Winter 2025

Family Newsletter

 

Dear Kearsley Parents, Guardians & Athletes, 

The Winter Athletic Season is rapidly approaching! Kearsley Athletics is utilizing an online athlete registration system and all High School and Armstrong Athletes will be required to have an online registration form completely filled out prior to starting athletic practices or tryouts.

Once you have created a profile for your family in this system it will store your information allowing you to adjust as needed for future seasons, meaning faster registrations.

If you have previously established an online account for registration all you will need to do is log in and edit your profile to add your new winter team.

The mandatory online registration (using the button below) and health history form will include sections for: 

  • Participant Information,
  • Sports Participating,
  • Family and Emergency Contact Information,
  • Prior Medical History,
  • School Policies, and
  • Uploading Current Physical. A valid physical dated April 15th 2025 - Present, must be uploaded under participant information.

If you have any questions please contact the athletic department at 810-591-5307. 

Thank you and GO HORNETS!

Keith Saxton
Kearsley Athletic Director

Athlete Registration

Great News for Kearsley Families!

This year, Kearsley Community Schools has suspended the athletic registration fee.That means students will not have to pay to participate in athletics at either the high school or middle school level. We’re excited to make participation more accessible for all our student-athletes.

Athletic Spectator Policy

We are excited to the start of a
new season with our Hornet athletes!

We encourage students of all ages to attend as many school events as possible. Enthusiastic spectators help to build school spirit and encourage our athletes.

However, in order to ensure that everyone attending is properly safeguarded, it is required that ALL elementary and middle school students be accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone when they arrive at the event and throughout its duration. They cannot be dropped off and left unsupervised and there are no exceptions.

 

Admission to Kearsley Athletic Events

Kearsley Athletic Punch Cards Available!

Save money while supporting our Hornets! The Kearsley Athletic Department offers Athletic Punch Cards for event admission — each card includes 10 punches for $25, a 50% savings off regular admission prices.

Punch cards can be used for any regular-season athletic event at Kearsley High School. Cards purchased last year are still valid for this year’s events.

Without a punch card, event admission is $5 per person at the door for both KHS and Armstrong athletic events.

Pick up your punch card today and cheer on our Hornets!

This pass applies to KHS home events only and is a great way to celebrate and support our Hornet athletes throughout their season.
