High School Athletic Camps Begin Today — Plus Fall Registration Deadlines
Abington, MA · August 10, 2026
Morning whistles are echoing from the high school fields today as summer camps wrap up and pre-season athletic practices get underway. Plenty to map out across the district before August slides away.
The Lead
With mid-August arriving, local sports fields and classrooms are shifting back into high gear as youth athletic programs and fall school preparations commence today. The High School is hosting its annual Green Wave volleyball camp this morning, kicking off two weeks of intensive conditioning and skill drills for middle and high school student-athletes before official fall tryouts start later this month. Meanwhile, district administrators are finalizing schedules, completing facility maintenance, and managing course registrations ahead of faculty orientation later in August. Families with students enrolled in virtual high school coursework face today's deadline for fee submissions, marking an important logistical milestone before the academic year begins. Ground crews have also completed field maintenance across campus to ensure soccer, field hockey, and tennis facilities are fully prepared for the upcoming competitive season.
