Physical Forms
All students participating in athletics MUST have an up-to-date sports physical uploaded into the Jaguar Online Athletic registration. More information will come via mass email on or after July 1, 2022. This registration has to be complete prior to any participation in school-sanctioned athletics, but cannot be entered until on or after July 1.
Sports Starting Dates
Fall 8th grade athletics will start as early as August 23rd. Specific details for each sport can be found on the Jaguar Activity website as that season approaches. We also communicate with students through daily announcements on the TV’s at Northview once the school year starts.
Summer Strength & Conditioning
A key component to the success of our athletics is preparing their bodies for athletic competition. We encourage your child to take advantage of the programs we will offer through our after school program and Winning Edge summer camp opportunities. https://centennial.ankenycamps.com/
Sports Camps
Each sport at Ankeny Centennial High School offers a variety of camps for students who are interested in learning appropriate skills and techniques that will be used in the individual sports seasons. This is also a great opportunity to meet the 8th grade coaches. These low cost, high skill development camps can be found at: https://centennial.ankenycamps.com/ (please check on a regular basis as new camps are consistently being added throughout the year).
