Sunday, October 20, 2024 Hello MAST Athletes, Parents, and Friends: Wow, what a gorgeous Minnesota weekend! We hope you all had a fun Fall break filled with quality time and a good balance of relaxation and excitement. Our last Update covered a ton, and we know that re-entry after a break can be a little challenging - so we’ll try to keep things clear and concise here. But please do give special attention to our important reminders, and refer to Update #8 and/ or reach out to your Core Members with any questions or needs! We have been thrilled with the number of new athletes who have signed up for MAST, and thank you to all those who have registered with MPS schools for Winter sports, Alpine Ski! *If you registered, but haven’t paid the $75, go here to make that payment. Payment is at the end of the registration process. Look for a link at the end of the process. If you are a middle schooler, you need to drop off the $75 payment with the athletic director at your high school. Please make checks payable to “(name of high school) Athletics”, e.g. Southwest Athletics, Washburn Athletics, etc.. Also be sure to have your completed physical form handy and ready to upload during the registration process. No one can attend practice until they are cleared by the Athletic Director at the High School. IMPORTANT REMINDERS! Additional information can be found in Update #8:
