Thank you for dedicating your time and energy to our student athletes. We appreciate your contributions to improving and enriching our athletic programs. Mapleton School District strongly supports our athletic programs. We believe athletics are inherently educational. Athletics provide valuable lessons and skills to our students, such as teamwork, commitment, self-confidence, and perspective.

In order to coach at Mapleton School District you are required to complete annual athletic trainings (online courses). These required trainings have been established to protect the safety and wellbeing of our student athletes. All required trainings must be completed before you can start coaching or attend practice. Computer and printer access is available at the district office: links to the annual athletic trainings can be found below. Please print records verifying you have completed all of the required trainings and submit them to the athletic director.
