Crookston High School will host a Parents, Athletes, and Coaches (PAC) meeting for the upcoming fall sports season on Thursday, August 6, at 7:00 p.m. in the high school auditorium.
Activities Director Evan Pederson coordinates the annual meeting, which is an opportunity for student-athletes to meet Pederson and the fall sport coaches, get the season’s practice and game schedules, and develop a plan for the new season. Pederson said, “This will give our parents and students an opportunity to meet the coaching staff, meet me if they haven’t, and then learn about their program, get their practice schedules, and their expectations for the team as well.”
The meeting will begin with Pederson reviewing district policies and updates before everyone breaks off into groups by sport. Fall sports offered at Crookston High School include football, boys’ and girls soccer, girls’ volleyball, and girls tennis. “We’ll talk about our expectations for the upcoming school year, some of our rules, our regulations that we have as well, and then we’ll break into a smaller meeting of teams: football meeting, volleyball, tennis, soccer for boys and girls with their head coaches and their coaching staff,” explained Pederson.
Ahead of the meeting, Pederson advises families to download Bound, the district’s new activity management software. The district, along with all the schools in the Pine-to-Prairie Conference, transitioned to Bound ahead of the 2026-27 school year following a review of Bound and the previous system, Arbiter. Bound is widely used throughout Minnesota and will provide more accurate schedules, improved communication, and better coordination for students, families, coaches, and staff.
Bound is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. More information about Crookston High School activities, along with links to download the Bound app, is available at https://www.crookston.k12.mn.us/activities.
