It is our last week of basketball, and we will start Spring Sports next Wednesday.
Spring Sports Sign-ups:
These are the sports coming up starting the week of March 21:

Coaches will take vans to the practice sites. The first day of practice is Thursday, 3/23/23. Please bring athletic shoes, a jacket to keep warm and a water bottle. Racquets will be provided if you do not have one.

Please let Terra know if your child plans to play on one of the Spring teams.

As you know, at Explorer West, students are encouraged to try a new sport or continue with one they already know. There is currently no charge for the Explorer West Athletics program. However, the costs to provide the program are growing. We are not charging a participation fee but invite families who can contribute to offset the costs of coaches, equipment, officials, and transportation. A suggested amount for the season is $120, but any amount will help. The Athletics program has a no-cut policy, and no previous experience is required – every student is encouraged to try Athletics!
