CRLS Fall Athletics Information
Participation in high school athletics is a great experience. Students who get the opportunity to play on a team and compete interscholastically typically perform better in school, have the opportunity to build life-long friendships, learn valuable life lessons and ultimately more often achieve success in their career path. By deciding to pursue athletics and committing yourself to a team, you will not only be giving a lot to your community and teammates, but greatly benefiting in return!
