The following information will help students and their parents prepare for athletic participation at Clio High School. Please read through the entire page carefully, as it contains answers to many commonly asked questions.

ATHLETIC FEE
The athletic fee is paid once per year and covers all three sports seasons. The fee must still be paid in-person. Cash or check (made payable to Clio Area Schools) can be turned in during the school day. 

• High School athletic fee: $50.00
• Middle School athletic fee: $25.00

 If a student's family has financial difficulty in paying participation fees, that student will not be denied the opportunity to participate.  Any student who wishes to participate, but is unable to because of financial hardship, should contact the athletic director.

TRYOUT CARDS
Tryout cards can be requested in the athletic office during normal school hours. Once a student requests a tryout card, the office will verify that the student meets all the eligibility requirements, which are listed below.

If a student requests a tryout card but does not meet eligibility requirements, they will be contacted and provided information on how to further proceed. If a student requests a tryout card and meets participation requirements, the tryout card can be picked up the week prior to the start of the season. See the Athletic Department Pre-Season Checklist for specific dates.
