KMS Sports

PAY TO PLAY: KCSD has adopted a Pay To Play policy which other schools in our league have employed for several years. Once your student-athlete has made a KMS team, his/her coach will provide the Pay to Play information ($30/sport). This fee must be paid before your student is able to participate in practices/games. Additionally, the PIAA is mandating students and parents read and sign a Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Concussion information sheet. This form is part of the PIAA Sports Physical package.
