Welcome to Lady Eagle Athletics

Athletes MUST have athletic physicals on file.  In addition, ALL athletic paperwork must be completed in Rank One before receiving a Decatur athletic shirt/locker.

Turn in a HARD COPY of the physical at the MMS Girls Athletic Parent Meeting on Tuesday, Aug 8, 2023, 5:00-6:00 at the MPB Cafeteria or no later than the first day of school, Thursday, Aug 10, 2023.  Parents need to create an account on Rank One. This paperwork is mandatory for McCarroll Middle School athletic participation and is required by UIL. Please use the links below for instructions to sign up for Rank One and a printable copy of the physical form to take to your doctor on the day of your physical appointment.

Items Athletes Need to Bring

  1. Decatur Shirt - a royal blue, numbered, Decatur shirt needs to be worn daily. We are partnering with Ink 'N Stitch so parents can purchase as many shirts as they would like with the option of personalizing with last names on the back of the shirt. Their numbered shirts must be worn during tryouts. 

  2. BLACK Shorts - must be appropriate length for diving, bending, stretching, etc. NO spandex or bike shorts for practice. Volleyball players must provide their own spandex shorts for volleyball games.

  3. Water Bottle - athletes need to bring a water bottle full of water to practice each day. It needs to be a container that is labeled with their name to prevent any mix ups.  We suggest 32oz or larger.

  4. Knee Pads - optional but suggested - for those trying out for VB/BB or that make a team.

  5. Hygiene Items - towel, deodorant, hand sanitizer, body spray, brush, etc to keep in their athletic locker

  6. Athletic Bag 

Sports You

Athletes as well as parents need to download the SportsYou app! We will communicate with athletes and parents through this app. This is much more versatile than Remind 101 and very user friendly. In addition, we write information on our athletic white board, calendar, send emails, give hard copies, and give the kids daily reminders about upcoming events, departure times for games, picture days, and many other things.

Letter From the Coaches

Girls Athletics Important Information and Expectations  

Dear Parents and Athletes:

We are anticipating this year as being another successful year at MMS with many accomplishments and goals being achieved. I hope you find this packet of procedures and information helpful in making decisions and knowing what to expect next year during athletics.

In accordance with UIL rules, all 7th and 8th grade athletes must have a complete physical performed by a licensed medical physician each year that they participate in athletics. The forms and physical packets are available at the top of this page under "Physical Form" and "Rank One" links. 

Your athlete must submit a physical and all completed forms prior to the first day of school in order to begin participation. XC begins as does Volleyball try-outs on the second day of school(August 18th), so all participants must have this step complete. 

If you have any questions or concerns please call the girls coaches office at the Multi-Purpose Building. Our phone numbers are 393-7395 or 393-7396.

We look forward to soaring high next year!

Sincerely,

MMS Girls' Coaching Staff
