When does my child need a physical for athletics?
When does my child need a physical?
Your child will need a physical that clears them to participate for the
following reasons:
-She is enrolled in the athletics class. Our district has determined that
athletics is much more strenuous than PE. Therefore, students must be
medically able to participate in athletics. Failure to get a physical will
lead to removal from the class.
-She is on a team (volleyball, cross country, basketball, track).
-She is trying out for a team. 7th and 8th grade students must have a
physical to try out because tryouts occur before and after school.
--------------------------------------
When are basketball tryouts and how do they work?
When are basketball tryouts and how do they work?
Tryouts are held within 2-3 days after the conclusion of volleyball season.
Everyone must have a physical to try out for basketball. Tryouts are held
over a 2-3 day period during the athletic period and before/after school. If
you are not in the athletic class you will tryout either before or after
school, NOT during the period. Players will be evaluated on ball handling,
shooting, passing, defense, court sense, coachability, and hustle. Grades
will also play a part in the
decision making process. Each grade level will keep between 20-25 players.
Those players will be divided into A and B teams at a later date. Please
call Coach Cook 428-2364 or Coach Petty 428-2363 if you have further
questions.

Who coaches Cross Country and do I try out for track? When?
Do I try out for track and who coaches cross country? When?
Coach Cook is the cross country coach. It is during the fall season. You do
not have to be in the athletics class to participate. However, it is only
offered in 7th and 8th grade and you must have a physical. As for track, it
occurs in the spring, lasts approximately six weeks, and immediately follows
basketball season. Yes, you have to "qualify" or try-out for the team during
competition with other athletes. Only the top 3-6 athletes per event and
grade level go to the track meets. This number depends on the number of
schools involved with the meet. You do not have to be in the athletics class
to make the track team. However, you must have a physical and be able to
attend all meets and practices to participate.
--------------------------------------
What if I want to be a manager?
What if I want to be a manager?
Managers are selected by the coaches of each particular sport. Managers must
have various qualities which include, but are not limited to: having good
grades, outstanding behavior and attitude, loyalty to the team and coaches,
and a willingness to work hard and attend all games and practices. Normally,
managers are in 7th or 8th grade and are in athletics since most
responsibilities are worked on during the period.
--------------------------------------
How often do I need to to get a physical?
How often do I need to get a physical?
Students need a medical physical exam once a year and it needs to be dated
May 1st or later to be valid for the following school year. In other words,
if you get a physical in March 2006, then you will need a NEW physical for
the 06-07 school year. We do not want physicals that expire during the
school year, particularly during our sports seasons.
