ATHLETICS IN PICTURES

Thank you to everyone who made Fall Athletics memorable! Everyone plays a role in the success and enjoyment of our sports seasons. These pictures give us a glimpse into the fall sports season. Participating in these sports or watching our students play the sports is a valuable opportunity to witness the way the Trinity School mission and vision is lived out in our athletic program. Well done, everyone!

FALL SEASON CELEBRATIONS

It's hard to believe our fall season is winding down. High school soccer and cross country will begin their end of season state tournament competitions, and our grades 6-8 soccer teams will wrap up next week with a couple away games.

Fall Sports Award Night

This event will be held on October 27th from 7pm to 8pm in the Trinity School Auditorium. We will briefly hear from our middle school and high school coaches, meet our athletes, and join in on celebrating their accomplishments this season.

End of Season Celebrations

Each team will be setting aside a time to get together, celebrate, and re-cap the fall season, so be on the lookout for team-specific information coming soon from coaches. If you are interested in hosting an End of Season Celebration for your student's team please reach out to our Athletic Director, Kathy Klimek - kklimek@trinityschools.org.

Thank you, coaches and students, for the many hours of dedication and passion you invested into the fall sports season! We have seen so much skill and team growth across all of our teams.

REGISTER FOR BASKETBALL

Basketball season is right around the corner! If your child plans to participate, please register soon through Final Forms. Here are the start dates for each team:

October 16

Girls basketball for grades 9-12

October 23

Boys basketball for grades 6-8

November 4

Boys basketball for grades 9-12

January (exact date TBD)

Girls basketball for grades 6-8

If your child is already registered in Final Forms for a fall sport, be sure they are also registered for a winter sport. If registering multiple children, you must complete the process separately for each child. A laptop tends to work better than the mobile app for the registration process.

If this is your first time registering your child for a sport this school year, we will need all of the required forms located in Final Forms, including a sports physical filled out by a doctor. Students will be able to participate in practices once their physical forms are completed and downloaded into Final Forms. These forms are available in Final Forms.

Contact Kathy Klimek at kklimek@trinityschools.org if you have any questions.

EVENTLINK CASHLESS FAMILY PASSES

I hope you all will take advantage of our FREE Family Passes

to Home sporting events.

Our soccer games were well attended and we would love to see many more families attend our basketball games. We now have the opportunity for your household to "purchase" FREE family passes for middle school and high school basketball games. Below you will find a link to Eventlink ticket purchasing.

To obtain your free season pass, go to the Eventlink page linked below and click on Trinity Family Passes. Enter a name for each member of your family within your household. In the email fields, you may use only a parent email address for all members of your family.

Add the passes to your cart (your total will be $0) and check out. The passes will be sent to your email address and will also be accessible in your Eventlink app. In order for the QR codes to show up in your Eventlink account, be sure the email you use to receive your season pass is the same email you use to log into Eventlink. When entering a game, access Eventlink app and locate season pass. There will be a QR code that is scanned at the ticket table.

COACHING & VOLUNTEER NEEDS

We are looking for volunteers to coach our 6th grade boys and girls basketball teams, as well as volunteers to help run concessions, ticketing, and more at both middle school and high school games. It truly is a lot of fun when we do it together!!

If you are interested in supporting the athletic program in any of these ways, please email Kathy Klimek at kklimek@trinityschools.org.

SHARE YOUR PHOTOS

Many thanks to all parents and other members of our community who take photos at sporting events and share them with us! These photos are needed in many areas of school communications, as well as for the yearbook, and are much appreciated. If you have photos to share, please send them to Julia Wickes at jwickes@trinityschools.org or Kathy Klimek at kklimek@trinityschools.org.

SPIRIT WEAR

We will be working with a local family operated business - Graphie -Tees - for our Spiritwear this year. There will be a separate email that will be sent out.

This will make for wonderful Christmas presents!!!
