Physicals:
All athletes must have a physical on file before they can participate in any interscholastic activity. The physical must be dated after May 1, 2011 and is good for the current school year. If you haven’t completed this physical and plan on playing a sport at FTMS, you will need to get your physical soon.
Winter Sports:

- Swimming: First Practice: December 19th, NO CUTS!
All Physicals MUST be turned in by December 19th in order to swim. No Physical submitted will result in no participation in the sport. More Details will be coming. A swimming athletic sheet will be at the front desk starting in November running through the callout date of December 19th. Announcements will be recurring within the next month to get your child excited and ready for the upcoming swim season. - Boys Basketball: Tryouts will start the Monday after Fall Break and run through Thursday with a first cut on Tuesday evening, a second cut on Wednesday evening or Thursday evening depending on grade level, and a final cut on Friday night.
