CAI Fall Sports registration is now open! Please click here for more information. We encourage you to sign your child/children up early to allow us to better plan. Also, registering will put them on a list to begin receiving information for the upcoming season as well as summer workout opportunities. As stressed in the document, no fees will be billed until AFTER official practices have started, but letting us know NOW that you are planning on participating on a team will help us better hire coaches, purchase equipment and know where we need to expand or change teams.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m sure many are wondering what the fall season will look like. While we are awaiting more information from the DOE and IHSAA, we continue to make plans and pursue various options we could end up going with. We look forward to hopefully having our Warriors back in the arenas of competition and practice soon!

The IHSAA released guidelines today regarding the required Pre-Participation Physical and Consent form packet for the 2020-2021 school year and I want to make sure you are aware of these changes now. 

Due to the impacts of COVID-19, on the medical field in particular, the IHSAA is going to allow any completed packets from the 2019-2020 school year to count for next year. So, basically, if your child had a packet turned in to our office for this year, we will retain those for next school year. Given some spring sport teams had not yet begun, if you have a packet for a spring sport athlete that was not yet turned in, I would encourage you to scan it and email it to me now so we can add it to our files. I would also hang on to it and turn in the hard copy when school resumes.  

This rule will apply for any 5th-11th grade student-athlete from this school year, not just high school athletes. We follow IHSAA guidelines for all our middle school programs as well as the high school ones.  

All athletes will likely need to still turn in a newly signed Concussion/Sudden Cardiac arrest waiver form, as that piece does not require an in-person exam, just a signature. We will make this form available to you all over the summer break.

If you would like to read the actual press release from the IHSAA, you can do so by clicking here. And, as they stress in this document, you can still choose to get the sports physical for next year and fill out the packet.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! We hope this provides some relief to our families of another thing you have to do!

GO WARRIORS!

With the season quickly approaching, please be sure to register your child today. Remember, the earlier you register, the better chance we have to secure competitions and coaches for our expanding teams! Please click here to view more information on registration, start dates and current coaching needs.

We are pleased to announce we are going to open a new program for CAI Athletics by offering an Elementary Intramural Basketball program this winter. Please click here to view more information. The registration deadline is January 17, and we will need parent volunteer coaches. Without YOU, this program cannot happen!

We will also be offering our Elementary Cheer Clinic again at the end of January. Please click here to view more information. The registration deadline for that program is January 20.

Please join us on November 15, at 7 p.m. in the CAI gymnasium for our annual basketball season kick-off event Blue/Gold Night! At this event, you will meet all of our basketball teams and cheerleaders. There will be games, giveaways and other fun surprises. The Warrior Armory will also be open that evening! You won’t want to miss this fun night for the CAI Community!

Please click here for more information on how to register and anticipated start dates for each team. Keep in mind that the earlier you register your child, the better chance we have to create schedules, hire coaches and order uniforms. So, please register them today! We are also looking for a couple of coaches to complete our winter coaching staff, so be sure to check that section out to see if you or someone you know might be a good fit!

Please also be aware that we are looking to alter the 5/6th grade basketball length of season due to parent feedback on it being too long. Currently, we are looking to start 5/6th grade basketball on October 21, and end on December 18. Ideally, we would like to register for the Louisville league and then add a few local teams to the schedule for mid-week games. This is still a work in progress, but what we are aiming to do to better meet the needs of our families.

The pass costs $75 and can be purchased in the CAI Athletic Office or at one of the ticket tables this fall!

If you haven't done so already, please be sure to register your child for fall sports through FACTS ParentsWeb (formerly RenWeb) today! Registering early gives us a better picture of how many athletes we will have on teams, which allows us the opportunity to better schedule, enter leagues, hire coaches, schedule practices, etc. No fees will be applied until the season has begun and rosters are confirmed by coaches.

Fall sports are coming quickly. Register your child today! More information on our fall sport offerings and required paperwork is included here. Signing up early will better allow us the opportunity to hire coaches and create game schedules. Many of our fall sport coaches are holding optional summer workouts for their team. If you have a son or daughter interested in getting plugged in over the summer, please contact the coach directly for more information.
