National Sports ID (NSID) Certification deadline
Link: NSID Certification instructions
If your T-Bird athlete is not NSID-certified by June 30th (i.e., ✅ Green Checkmark appears by their name on the NSID website with 2026 Expiration), they will not be issued equipment during T-Birds Day (July 12th) and cannot practice. Do not wait to complete this. We will not offer an onsite physician during T-Bird Day and you must make an appointment with your child's physician. This is because our NSID certifications need to be complete by June 30th.

T-Bird Day: Football & Cheer
Location: Monte Vista High School
Link: Sign up for T-Bird Day Volunteer Spots on our website!
National Sports ID (NSID) verification must be complete and in a ✅ verified state, expiring in 2026, before picking up equipment, practice jersey, or other gear during T-Bird Day. Also, no equipment will be issued without a volunteer check. No exceptions. T-Bird Football & Cheer Day is the official start of our season on July 12th, 2025. Attendance is mandatory as it is the day when the participants and parents will meet coaches, as well as the board. The event will be held at Monte Vista High School.
Don’t forget your checkbook as deposits are required for the football gear and volunteer hours. The checks will be filed and returned to you at the end of the season once the equipment is returned and the volunteer hours have been fulfilled. These checks will not be cashed prior to the end of the season, unless you selected 'Opt Out of Volunteer Hours' during registration. All families must provide volunteer (Football & Cheer) and equipment (Football) checks during T-Bird Day.
