Athletic Director Alex Hanna has issued an online presentation for parents of athletes participating in winter sports at Bluffton High School (Ohio). The 2021-22 Winter Sport Player-Parent Meeting can be viewed at https://youtu.be/akF41jn8U4c.
Hanna notes: Due to such a large overlap of fall and winter sports it is difficult to find an open date. Our individual winter sport coaches will be in touch with sport specific information. They will likely have an in-person meeting or simply send information with your athlete.
