Coaches may engage virtually with prospective team members for 60-90 minutes one day each week through January 22, 2021, excluding school closings or religious observance days. Parents/guardians may register their student-athlete for virtual engagement sessions via HCPSS Connect (Links to an external site.). After logging in, select More Options from the left menu and then Athletic Registration from the middle of the page.

Sincerely,
