Viking Power!

Welcome to Van Hoosen Viking Athletics! We support a total of 17 teams across three seasons with more than 450 student-athletes participating each year. We are proud of our competitive sports teams and our athletes' accomplishments on and off the field.

All middle school athletes must submit a current MHSAA Physical Form (dated April 15, 2026 or later for the 26-27 school year) through your Final Forms account prior to participation in any tryouts or conditioning activities.

Once a student is has gone through tryouts and is confirmed to be on a team, register and pay for each sport using the Pay to Participate - Eleyo link below.

Families that qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch may have the Pay to Participate fees lessened or waived. Please complete the Reduced Fees Application below.

Please see below for more details on all the opportunities for students plus links to needed forms.
