As the Director of Activities, for Brookside Charter School, it is my honor to welcome you to our activity department. We take pride in building the student-athlete on and off the court. Our coaching staff & sponsors are committed to ensuring that our student-athletes have an incredible experience during their time at Brookside Charter School. Brookside Charter School is part of the Crossroads Conference here in Kansas City.  Any student participating in an activity must follow the athletic handbook and the policies listed within. Students and parents will be given information regarding each activity as we get closer to start time. All students wanting to participate in sports must have a completed MSHSAA physical on file and a MSHSAA insurance form on file. For more information regarding clubs and activities, please contact Coach Witt.
