Mattoon Middle School piloted golf as an activity during the 2015-16 school year, and we have had participants each year since. This activity is unique to other activities in that the SectionalTournament is the only event students are required to participate in. Below are some import facts about your child’s participation in golf:
- No regular season contests are required. There are separateSectional Qualifier Tournaments for boys and girls.
- There is a maximum of 3 slots for boys and 3 slots for girls from Mattoon Middle School. If more than 3 students for either group express interest, the top 3 average scores of 18 holes will receive the slots.
- The slots are first come - first served basis so we will look to enroll our kids before the August 25, 2017 deadline.
