BHS ATHLETICS INFO
 
***PLEASE NOTE: Incoming freshmen must be enrolled before they can begin the process of getting "cleared" to participate in athletics. 
 
BHS is home to an incredible athletics program!  We encourage all incoming freshmen to choose a sport that interests them and get more involved!

(Remember--your student must be fully enrolled before you can create an account.)
 
Once you are cleared by the BHS Athletics office, and both your Sportsnet account and completed physical are confirmed, you can being practice.  Sportsnet Sign-up instructions and the physical form are included below.  Contact the coach for specific information about practice schedules.
