MHSAA Athletics have officially kicked off here at the Academy! We have 4 students participating on the Avondale varsity football team, 2 students participating on the Avondale soccer teams, and many other students interested in and/or trying out for a variety of other sports. If your student has an interest in participating in athletics please see the attached flyer for more information. There you will find information on the sports offered, coaches contact information, athletic director contact information, and other information regarding athletics. Tryout dates depend on the sport and season. Please remember that in order to participate in any sport, you MUST have a sports physical form on file with the athletic offices. If you need a physical form please stop by the main office and pick one up. We are looking forward to a year exciting competition! Go Jags and Go Jackets!
