ADDITIONAL INFO FOR ALL PLAYERS
What should you bring to practice?
Players should bring shorts, shirt, cleats, water bottle, and lunch.
What's the scoop with food?
Snack will be provided for the players. Lunchtime will vary depending on what is going on with practice but is usually around 11:15am. Players should plan to bring a lunch from home. Players should not leave the school between practices.
Can I practice for 2-A-Days if I haven't signed up with the Chaska High School Athletic Office?
NO! You must register for Fall Football through the Athletic Office or you will not be allowed to practice with the team. If you have not registered yet, you can watch the practice for your position group but will not be allowed to play, so sign up now!!! Click HERE to register.
You also need an up-to-date physical before you can play. The MN State High School League requires a physical; it is valid for 2 years and must include a physician's signature. So, it is likely that if you are a freshman or a junior, you will need an updated physical form before you can play. But be sure to check with the Athletic Office if you have any questions. They have the final say in whether you are in compliance. The physical form your doctor needs to complete can be found HERE.
Where do I find all of this schedule information?
You can find the 2-A-Day practice calendar on the calendar on the website and also under your teams schedule. To find your schedule:
Go to Teams (on the bar across the top), select Choose a Team then select your team. On the left, select Schedule to see all 2-A-Day practices and games for your team.
What is our practice schedule like after 2-A-Days are over?
Normal “after-school” practices begin on August 30th at 3pm. These practices are NOT listed on the team schedules or the event calendar; only 2-A-Day practices and games are listed here.
Beside Aug. 16th, when will we be turning in money we collect from selling Hawk Cards?
We will collect money on Aug. 18 and Sept. 1 down by the locker room, right before you head out to practice. Our final Hawk Card money collection day will be September 8, again, right before you head out to practice.
