Kingfisher Athletics

IC Imagine, 

I hope everyone is enjoying the Winter Break and look forward to seeing you all soon. Our Basketball teams and Cheerleading squads are off to an amazing start and I cannot wait for our home game stretch upon our return from Winter Break. Please make plans to attend at least one game.  Your support of our student-athletes is invaluable!  

Below are the important athletics reminders and information as the 2025 gets underway. As always, reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Cheerleading & Basketball Season

Our M.S and U.S Boys and Girls basketball teams have been hard at work over the break, have had a chance to compete in several away games, and have had a solid start to the season. We are extremely excited to bring our games back to our home gym as school resumes. We have a two-week stretch of home games every weekday afternoon/evening and hope you can attend.  There are going to be some great games! Check each team's page on the Athletics Website for their specific schedule. Athletics Website for their specific schedule.

Intramural Basketball League (Grades 4-8)

We rescheduled the 7-week Intramural Basketball league for our 4th-8th graders for this Winter. If you registered for the Fall League, you were reimbursed during the Hurricane Helene break and will need to re-register to participate. League games will occur on the following Saturdays: 1/18, 1/25, 2/1, 2/8, 2/15, 2/22 and 3/1.  Registration is open on Infinite Campus (go to the School Store and click on After School Activities).  If you are interested in being a volunteer coach for a team, please contact Coach Irvin.  Lastly, if you are interested in sponsoring this event, contact giving@icimagine.org

Spring Sports Tryouts (MS & US)

Before you know it, we will be ready for our Spring sports tryouts.  All tryout forms can be found linked below as well as on the Athletics website.  If your child wants to tryout and hasn’t played a sport yet this school year, you must complete and return all required physical and concussion forms to the front office prior to tryouts.

Mountain Biking (MTB) 

Kingfisher MTB is gearing up for its 9th season in January for grades 6-12!  MTB will begin the week of January 6th.  All athletes welcome and encouraged to join!  Any riding level!  We have some loaner bikes so if you don't have a bike and want to be part of the team send an email to see if we have a bike that will work for your athlete.  Please fill out this MTB Team Form to be a part of the team.  More information is on the website.  If you have further questions, reach out to Coach Erin Barrett.

Lacrosse

We are excited to build upon last year’s momentum.  Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in the US and we are excited that Asheville Empire Lacrosse will bring lessons to our LS, MS and 9th grade PE classes in January.  The MS interest meeting will be held in February.  If you have any other questions about this program, what it looks like, how it is growing, and/or how to get involved, contact Avery Jones.

Coaching Vacancies

Coaches make our teams happen!  We have a few vacancies and are looking for experienced coaches to join Kingfisher Athletics.  If you or anyone you know is interested in one or more of the following openings, please contact Coach Irvin for more information.  These are paid positions and average 8-10 weeks depending on the sport and season.
