sports notes

pre-participation exams: Langley High School will host an opportunity to get your sports physical form completed for the 2025-2026 school year by our wonderful volunteer doctors on Tues May 13, 6 - 8 pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to get this completed before the start of the next sports season while supporting the athletic training programs! It will be turned in, on file and you will be ready for the first day of tryouts when they begin!

The sports physical night will fundraise for Langley High School's Athletic Training Program. This money goes directly to purchasing tape, first aid supplies, crutches, slings, bandaids and other equipment that athletic trainers use each day to provide healthcare to our student athletes. Each school is responsible for funding their athletic training room as no funding is provided by the county. To register, click here. Pay through MySchoolBucks here.
