Thank you to everyone who was able to join us tonight for the Athletics Information Session. Here are a few notes:

• Football starts on Friday August 15.
• All other fall sports (except for Unified Basketball) start on Monday August 18.
• Unified Basketball starts in September, once school starts.
• All sports teams start with try-outs/evaluations and transition directly into daily practices.

If your student plays a fall sport, they will feel like they are an NNHS student.....and are back to school.....on August 15/18. Practices continue until Labor Day weekend and then games start during the first week of school.
