Interscholastic Sports:  Some interscholastic sports require a try-out and selection to a team.  Sports are played competitively against neighboring schools.  Coaches provide a monthly practice and game schedule to all players.  Players are also given a Sports Handbook, which needs to be read and signed by parents and participants, and details team rules that must be adhered to by all.

Sports Physicals:  All students who try out for an interscholastic sport must have a current doctor’s sports physical on file with the school.  Sports physicals are current for a period of 1 year and 1 month.  Sports physical forms must be submitted to the coach each school year.  STUDENTS MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN TRYOUTS, PRACTICE, OR GAMES/EVENTS WITHOUT A CURRENT PHYSICAL ON FILE.   Students must also maintain a good academic profile while on a team. 

If you have any questions about these activities, please see your PE teacher, or contact Athletic Director David Grossman  or Tyler Tampier
