Spring Sports
As we get ready for spring sports tryouts and practices, a few reminders
- No student-athlete will be permitted to begin on Saturday March 22nd unless they have a valid physical (13 months) and are registered on FamilyID. If anyone is failing more than one class during quarter 2, or have below a 70 average they also cannot participate. When Q3 closes on March 31st, we will be doing eligibility for Q3 and at that time the same standards will apply based on Q3 grades. These grades will determine the students ability to continue in a spring sport. If you have any questions regarding eligibility please reach out to me directly.
The cost for all spring sports is $180, please note the family cap is $450. If you are approaching or at the family cap, please call the Athletic Office to confirm and we will put a note on your registration, 203-426-7655. (There is no fee for Unified Sports.)
- April vacation is April 14-April 18. Student- athletes are expected to be here for April vacation as many competitions are held over break. If there is an issue with this, please contact your coach immediately.
- Please continue to check this page as adjustments will be made based on the weather
