Fall sports season approaches as ISD 166 holds Aug. 11 meeting

August 11, 2026 - 23:34

Cook County Schools will kick off the fall sports season with an informational gathering next week. The meeting is set for Tuesday, August 11, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts.

The session is designed for both parents and students who plan to participate in fall athletics. The main focus will be on reviewing Minnesota State High School League expectations and bylaws. This includes eligibility requirements, code of conduct rules, and other guidelines that student-athletes must follow throughout the season.

Fall sports programs are scheduled to begin shortly after the meeting. The start dates for individual teams will be shared during the session, along with practice schedules and any necessary paperwork. Coaches and athletic staff will be on hand to answer questions and help families understand what is required before the first practice.

The district encourages all families with students interested in fall sports to attend. This is a key step in making sure everyone is on the same page regarding safety, participation, and school policies. More details about specific sports and tryout information will also be provided at the meeting.
