Welcome to Clarkston Cross Country

CJHS & SMS Registration

Are you interested in joining the Clarkston Junior High 8th grade cross country team and the Sashabaw Middle school 6th and 7th grade team? See the announcement for information about the team. The following needs to be completed to register for the fall cross country season:

  1. Complete the cross country online Athletic Form
  2. Pay and complete the Community Education registration and fee
    This is done through Independence Township Parks and Recreation. You can register in person, by phone or online. Visit the township parks and rec website at itpr.org to register online. Search for community ed (CCE) then Youth Exercise then cross country.
  3. Download and complete a physical with your doctor then turn in a copy to your coach

All of the above need to be completed before you attend your first practice. If you will miss the first day or 2 of practices, send us an email so we know to see you soon.

Online registration for the fall opens near the beginning of August. However you will want to print off and schedule your physical with your family doctor sooner. Pine Knob Urgent Care does do walk in sports physicals.
