CMS Athletics 2020-2021

The Office of Athletics has developed a plan for interscholastic sports in the 2020-2021 school year. With that, I am happy to announce that we will have sports at Cockeysville Middle School this school year. Each sport will have two “mini” seasons – a virtual season in the 1st semester and an in-person season in the 2nd semester.

In the virtual seasons, coaches will meet with student-athletes regularly to provide virtual coaching/instruction, share conditioning plans, discuss academic progress, conduct team building exercises, and share tutorial videos. In the 2nd semester (in-person), teams will conduct practices and games as usual in a shortened season while following appropriate safety protocols.

If your child is interested in joining one of our teams, please have them join the team group in Schoology. All student-athletes need to complete the required forms which include a physical examination from their physician. Remember that physicals are good for 365 days so some student-athletes may not need one immediately.

Please refer to the documents below and reach out to your child’s coach if you have any further questions.
