Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Use the Sign Up page on focusedathletics.org to register as a student athlete, and sign the participant waiver..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
The sign-up form asks about the athlete's school, sports played, and a parent or guardian contact, and it also asks for some academic details. The page does not say when training starts, how long a session lasts, or how many athletes train together.
Tips for your first visit
- Have a parent or guardian's name, email, and phone ready for the sign-up form.
- Email the group to ask about start dates and training times, since the site does not list them.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site has a sign-up page and a volunteer email, so the way in is clear, but eligibility, tryouts, and start dates are not stated..
