Whether you are new to Snyder or currently attend Snyder Junior High or High School and would like to join the athletics program, we would love to discuss how you can get involved.

If you are an incoming 7th-12th grader and you are wanting to join Snyder Athletics for any reason in the 2022-2023 school year, please follow these steps.

1. Email: First, please email Athletic Director - Boys: Wes Wood wwood@snyderisd.net, Girls: T'Leah Eicke teicke@snyderisd.net.

2. Summer Strength & Conditioning: All incoming 7th - 12th graders will be allowed to attend Summer Strength and Conditioning at any time as it is considered volunteer workouts, and we are not responsible or liable for injuries. You do not need a physical to participate in our Summer S&C program, but it is HIGHLY recommended - plus you need it before you can begin FALL sports.

3. Sports Specific Skills: We will also hold sport-specific skills practices throughout the summer, but coaches require that athletes attend the S&C workout in order to attend skills on any given day. 

4. Join Big Teams & Complete Online Forms: The parent/guardian AND the athlete need to join our online paperwork platform called BigTeams. There are 6 forms that are required to be filled out before August. The parent/guardian and athlete will both have a linked account with forms for each to sign. For this information, please email our trainer - Alex Marsh (amarsh@snyderisd.net).

   • Big Teams Account Login (If you cannot remember your login, email amarsh@snyderisd.net)

   • Big Teams - New Account Creation Instructions

5. Get your REQUIRED physical ASAP

   • FREE physicals are available through Cogdell Family Clinic between May 1-July 31. You must have your medical physical BEFORE you participate in athletics.

     • The following students need physicals:

       • Students who are brand new to athletics, band, cheer, or special olympics

       • Student-athletes, band, cheer, or special olympians who are incoming 7th, 9th, or 11th graders

       • Athletes, band, cheerleaders, or special olympians with a pre-existing medical condition

       • Athletes, band, cheerleaders, or special olympians who have had an athletic injury since their last physical that required a doctor's release 

   • If you have one from your previous school that is only one year old, please email a copy to our trainer Alex Marsh (amarsh@snyderisd.net).

6. Download and complete the UIL Pre-participation Physical Forms prior to your appointment. We also have copies available in the athletic office.

7. Watch the SISD Drug Policy Presentation
