Sports Registration

Attendance & Commitment: Athletes are expected to attend all practices, games, and team events. If an absence is necessary, it must be communicated and approved in advance by the coach. Unexcused absences may impact playing time and could affect an athlete's standing on the team. Students involved in other MPA clubs or school-sponsored activities (such as theater, music ensembles, or academic teams) must communicate any scheduling conflicts with the coach as early as possible. This policy does not apply to participation in other sports teams outside of MPA; athletes are expected to prioritize their MPA athletic commitment during the season.

Registration Deadline: February 17, 2026

General Notes:
All Upper School sports programs practice Monday through Friday, with some Saturdays.
