High School Athletics Opportunities
​
Many Mercy Academy students are active participants on public school sports teams throughout the Monadnock Region. If you are interested in participating in NHIAA public school athletics (which all private school students are permitted to do), please contact the SAU associated with the town in which you reside. The current Athletics Director contacts are:
Mike Atkins (Keene HS) matkins@sau29.org
Tom Cote (Monadnock Regional MHS) tcote@mrsd.org
Gordan Dansereau (Fall Mountain Regional HS) gdansereau@sau60.org
Kevin Proctor (Conval HS) kproctor@conval.edu
Kevin (Sam) Kilelee (Hinsdale MHS) ad@hnhsd.org
Heather Linstad (Conant HS) h.linstad@sau47.org
​​
Please check the school websites regularly for detailed information on available sports offered in the Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons. Athletics offices will be able to assist with any questions regarding the sport you may be interested in and the proper registration process.

IMPORTANT NOTES
• It is very important to plan ahead. Sports sign-ups begin the season immediately prior to the sport's season (e.g. soccer
signups begin in the late Summer since soccer is played in the Fall).
• Obtain scheduled dates for tryouts and pre-season training.
• Pre-season training programs may occur in the off-season.
• Your school may have informational meetings for parents prior to each season.
• Physicals are required to play. Some of the schools offer free physical exams, so inquire in advance with the athletics office.
• If your home SAU does not offer a sport that you would like to play, you may be able to participate in another SAU that does
offer that sport. Be sure to inquire with the appropriate athletics director.
• If you are ABSENT from school, you may not attend practices or games.
• Mercy supports your participation in athletics! Please communicate well in advance with teachers and the Main Office if you
ever have to leave early for games, so everyone can plan for missed class time.
