Franklin High School Athletics and Activities Newsletter
If you are interested in joining a fall sport at Franklin High School next school year (22-23), please see below for fall sport meeting dates and locations. The coaches will present information regarding the upcoming fall season, which begins in August. Please see the FHS Athletic Team Pages for fall sport start dates and coach contact information. Contact the coach directly if you are not able to attend. Coaches will share information relating to summer opportunities, communication protocols, tryouts, and season expectations related to the 22-23 fall season. A video related to all-sport information will be shared at a later date to those who have registered for athletics.
Online registration for fall sports will begin sometime in mid-June. More information regarding registration will be sent once it is officially open. For now, please make sure your fall student-athlete has an updated physical. Use the WIAA Physical Exam Form if scheduling a physical exam appointment. Updated physicals must be completed by a physician every 2 years. Physicals completed after April 1 are good for the following two complete school years. Physicals completed prior to April 1 are good for that current school year and the following complete year.

Bus Driver Shortage
The bus driver shortage is real and it is having a direct impact on athletics and activities that occur after school. Until the shortage improves and more drivers are hired, we will not be able to depart for after school competitions or activities between the hours of 2 pm and 4 pm on school days. This will require us to leave early and wait at the destination or leave later and delay the start of the competition. Students involved in athletics and activities may also be required to find their own transportation to away events if bus transportation cannot be secured.
The athletics/activities office frequently receives bus cancellations or changes in the afternoon which we try to communicate to coaches right away. Our coaches are working hard to adjust and we appreciate your flexibility as a family.
Sportsmanship
Be relentlessly positive and respectful at games - all the time. Cheer for our students on the field. Focus on our players, not our opponent or their fans. Profane, disrespectful, or targeted cheers, actions, or individual yells are not allowed and will result in immediate removal from the site. Our student-section brings a crazy energy to the competition - let's make sure it's positive so we can be remembered the right way.
Hit the Weights!
The weight room is open for student use every day after school until 4:oo pm. Join us and get stronger, faster, together!
