Good Morning Badger Nation,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION UPDATE. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

We are moving to a new way of completing our athletic forms and paperwork. Everything will now be done digitally (online) right through your phone or computer. This will be more efficient and user friendly.

The online platform is called RANK ONE.

Here is the site that provides guidance and instructions on how to create an account and complete forms:

https://merkelisd.rankone.com/New/NewInstructionsPage.aspx

We would also recommend having parents/athletes download the app for convenience. Parents, please email support@rankone.com for any questions.

For the physicals and medical history section... We already have a hard copy of all physicals from our blitz that we did in May. We will upload all of those these next two weeks, so if you know that we have your physical already, please skip this part. The mass majority of all athletes should be good to go. If you know that we do not have your physical, you can upload your copy on your own. If you do not have a current physical, Action Sports Medicine will do a last-chance makeup on August 3rd from 9-11am and they will cost $15 each.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be diligent in getting your account set up and your forms completed ASAP. You will not be allowed to start or participate on the first day until your forms are completed.

Thank you for your time and understanding in this transition.

God Bless & Go Badgers!

MERKEL ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT

The Merkel Athletic Department is dedicated to preparing student-athletes for success in athletics, in the classroom, and in life. In our programs, we will teach our players the importance of discipline, a strong work ethic, loyalty, and character by creating a family atmosphere in which trust is a key component. Every coach and athlete involved in the athletic program will demonstrate a great attitude and will give relentless effort daily in preparing for success. The ultimate goal of our program is to have each student-athlete leave with a sense of pride and a feeling that their years at Merkel ISD, and in our athletic program, have been the best years of their life.

VISION FOR THE MERKEL ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT

We envision an Athletic Program that sets the standard for athletic and academic achievement. The Merkel Athletic Department has strong tradition and it is our vision to build on this tradition and to continue on the upward path of excellence. Through hard work, dedication, trust, and character building between students, staff, and coaches, we believe the Merkel Athletic Department can and will have sustained success. Our vision is for the Merkel Athletic Department to compete for championships on a yearly basis, while maintaining high academic achievement and promoting character development. In order to get to this point, it will take coaches who share the same vision and who are dedicated and passionate in pursuing excellence. It will also take changing the mindset of our
players and giving them the confidence they need to be successful. We believe that through hard work, building relationships, and commitment from coaches and players this vision is attainable.
