Here are the remaining coaching opportunities at Meridian.

With our first two athletic seasons underway, I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all of our coaches!

Your dedication does not go unnoticed—from showing up early to prepare practice plans, to staying late to care for our facilities. You all go above and beyond to ensure our athletes have the opportunity to grow, compete, and do what they enjoy as an extension of the classroom.

Thank you for investing your time and energy into our youth. GO HAWKS!

Hawk Nation, let's wish Coach Bickel and her cheerleaders good luck as they continue their journey of cheering for our football team in the Fall and basketball team in the Winter.

Thanks for all the voice, energy, and support you bring to our school!

As a reminder, a State of Illinois health physical, Immunizations, and a dental exam is required for our 6th graders. The State of Illinois health physical will work as the athletic physical for those students interested in participating in sports this year (the IESA sports physical does not work as the health physical). If you haven't made appointments yet, please do so to ensure the necessary paperwork is on file with Mrs. Enlow by the given dates! Please reach out to her with any questions (enlown@meridianhawks.net).

Congratulations to our new 2025 MMS Baseball Team!

**Softball tryout update for June 30** Tryouts will conclude at 5:00 p.m. The girls will be finished after they individually meet with the coaching staff.

Last year the school took a look at the possible football numbers for the 2025 season. The numbers were lower than desired. To lower the risk of cancelling a season, we took a pro-active step in joining the 8-man football league. The coaching staff and players have worked hard in the off-season and are ready to tackle a new year with a new format. The links below are examples of what 8-man will look like. Please make plans to support our football team this season!

8/22/25 Green and White Night Scrimmage--Will begin after program introductions @ 6:15
8/30/25 1st game @ South Fork @ 6:00pm
