Important Information for All GCMS Athletes

To ensure a smooth and successful participation in sports at Gypsum Creek Middle School, all athletes must complete the following registration paperwork annually:

GCMS Athletics Participation Contract: All students who wish to participate in sports must submit the completed GCMS Participation Contract to their coach or the school office by the end of the first week of each sport's season. Once this packet is filed with the school office, it remains valid for subsequent sports seasons within the same school year.

Registration Fee: A fee of $50 per sport is required. Football is $75. These fees will be billed through PowerSchool and can be paid by check or credit card. This fee helps cover the costs associated with services, supervision, supplies, equipment, and transportation. Please submit your payment along with the completed packet to the office. If your child is trying out for a sport and does not make the team, the payment will be held and refunded.

Physical Examination: A physical examination, signed and dated by a physician, is required and is valid for 365 days. If the physical expires before the end of the season, a new form must be completed for continued participation. If you are unsure whether your athlete’s physical is still valid, please contact the Front Office. Physicians may use their own forms, but they must clearly include the student's name and the date of the exam.

Financial Assistance: If you are unable to pay the fee upfront or need to discuss payment options, please contact the school office at (970) 328-8980. We are committed to ensuring that financial concerns do not prevent any student from participating in GCMS Athletics. If your child is eligible for free or reduced-fee status, please check with the office staff to see if this includes athletics and activities.

Thank you for your attention to these important details, and for your support of our athletic and activities programs.
