Leadership & Overview

Athletics in Ottawa Hills

Athletics should function as an integral part of the total High School experience. It offers opportunities to serve the institution, to assist in the development of positive relationships and good will, to promote self-realization, all around growth, and good citizenship qualities.

The athletic experience shall provide an opportunity for students to experience success and realize the value of participation without overemphasizing the importance of winning.

It is intended to develop high ideals of fairness in relationships, along with being socially competent and operate within a set of rules, thus giving a respect for the rights of others.

We offer a variety of activities in which students may get involved and further their experience at Ottawa Hills.

A message from Athletic Director, Ryan Wronkowicz....

I hope everyone's summer is going well. It is hard to believe that the start of the athletic year is right around the corner. I know this is lengthy, but this email contains a plethora of information regarding the fall seasons.

For every sport except golf, the official OHSAA start date is August 1.  Golf begins July 29. Below is when each team will officially begin practices along with the names of the head coaches and their email address. Please contact coaches directly if you haven't already regarding potential open gyms they may have in July.

Save-the-Date! Preseason Meeting

Physicals/Final Forms 

Prior to tryouts/first day of practice, all student-athletes must have a current physical on file.  These need to be updated in Final Forms.  Promedica has several physical dates set up that can be used for obtaining physicals. In addition, both parents and student-athletes need to sign off on all of the paperwork.
