Sports

The fall sports season is fast approaching, but before any goals or touchdowns can be scored, before any races won, some administrative obligations must be met. With that in mind, here are some important dates to remember for all Lake Pend Oreille School District athletes looking to compete in a fall sport.

? Today 8/1 — Sports physicals will be offered today for all LPOSD students who need one, including junior high and high school athletes. Incoming freshmen and juniors are required to take a physical before competing in athletics. The reduced-rate physicals are only $10, and will be administered at Sandpoint High School from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Morning is the best time to come, as more doctors will be on hand.

? Friday 8/3 — Football registration will be held at SHS from 2-6 p.m. Football practice starts on Aug. 6.

? Monday 8/6 — Boys and girls soccer registration will be held at SHS from 9 a.m. - noon. Soccer practices start on Aug. 8.
