ATHLETICSTiger Pride

First of all, TIGER PRIDE!

Marana Athletics is founded on the Culture, Commitment, and Competitive philosophy which strives to strengthen the Caring and Effective vision while teaching athletes to fulîll their commitments to their teammates, school and families to be the most competitive Tigers they can be.

This is the înal week of tryouts for fall sports. Thank you for supporting your children while they practiced the last couple weeks. The real competition will begin next week. It is very important to ensure our student athletes hydrate daily and nightly with the heat index and humidity their bodies are more susceptible to dehydration. Thank you.
