• When coming to athletic events, please be advised that NO PETS are allowed.  Also, students should know that when coming to a GHS athletic event, that they are to stay in the facility the entire time until they are leaving to go home.  Several are asking to go in and out.  If someone leaves, then that person will have to pay to get back into the facility.  A sports pass is not a pass "to come and go as you please" pass.  The sports pass states on the pass that it is valid for one time through the gate.

• All student-athletes MUST complete the four-page KHSAA physical document before they may participate in open gyms, try-outs, practices, and/or games.  Physical forms may be printed off at KHSAA.ORG (forms).

• Grade checks are every Friday.  It is important that each athlete maintains their required academic minimums to be able to practice or play. 

• WKCT, 930AM, is now the official radio station that will be covering all football games and maybe even all basketball games.  WKCT is looking for sponsors that want to advertise during the games and will also get about 80 spots in addition during the week.  If you or your business would like to be a part of this program, then contact Athletic Director, Todd Tolbert, at 842-3627 ext. 1855.

• If any student has transferred to Greenwood this school year and has ever attended high school prior to Greenwood, then each student MUST fill out transfer paperwork BEFORE they may be ruled eligible to play ANY SPORT(S).  Each head coach is responsible for starting paperwork for their sport.  New students to Greenwood should contact the Athletic Director for advisement.

• All athletes MUST have a KHSAA Physical Form completed (including student and parent signatures and dates; insurance information; a physical dated and signed by a doctor; and emergency contact numbers) before they may participate in any open gyms, conditioning, try-outs, and/or practices.  Every line of every page MUST be completed before any participation is allowed.   All paperwork MUST be turned in to the Athletic Director prior to participation.   Grade checks are every Friday.  Student-athletes must meet the minimum passing requirements to be eligible.  Teachers are required to have grades in by the end of the day each Thursday to make sure grades are up-to-date.

• If you are interested in applying to the NCAA Clearinghouse, follow these steps:

1) Go on-line to www.ncaaclearinghouse.net. Sign up as "Perspective Student Athlete".
2) Fill out all information.
3) Make payment for NCAA services.
4) Download "NCAA Transcript Release Authorization" - If the student is under 18 yrs of age, the student and parent/guardian must sign release. If the student is 18 years of age or older, the student may sign.
5) The student should bring the application to Guidance. The appropriate GHS staff member will then mail the student's "preliminary" transcript to NCAA.
6) After senior grades are finalized, a "final" transcript will be mailed to the NCAA Clearinghouse by the appropriate GHS staff member.

• Please check out our All Athletic Boosters web site at www.swampit.org  that is sponsored by Walker Financial Services.  The Greenwood Alumni Boosters is now a booster organization that is looking to greatly expand our schools' facilities and enhance our current programs. If you know a Greenwood alumnus, then please direct them to our Alumni page at our GHS web site.
  
  We are beginning to develop an alumni directory and also start contacting them to see if they will participate in helping our school.  Some possible projects may include a new home side of the football stadium (now the visitors' side) that would have a middle section of chair back seats. A new field house could be built under the new bleachers which would allow for teams (that don't currently have a "home") to use the current field house.  We are looking into building a multi-purpose facility that could house a hitting facility, possibly a basketball/volleyball court, and have a room large enough for the cheerleaders and dance teams to practice. Locker rooms could be built so the soccer teams could have dressing rooms near their practice/game field.  It is also time to consider new bleachers in the gym. We still have the original bleachers that were installed in 1990. A new set of bleachers could include the lower arena with chair back seats. The seats would be a dark green instead of the tan color we have now. Another item on the wish list would be to add two tennis courts. If you would like to sponsor any of these projects, then contact Todd Tolbert, Athletic Director, at 842-3627 ext. 1855.
