SPORTS at Branchburg Central Middle School follow the
REQUIRED GUIDELINES: State law requires that a current, cleared PHYSICAL EXAMINATION form be on file in the health office for a student wishing to try-out/participate in a specific interscholastic sport. The physical examination shall be conducted within 365 days prior to the first practice session (try-out session). It is highly recommended that your primary care physician complete the Physical Examination, however, the student's parent/guardian may choose either the child's own private physician or the school physician to perform the physical examination. To make arrangements for a sport physical examination by the school physicians, please call Hunterdon Family Medicine at Bridgewater at 908-237-4135.
For each individual sport season (Fall, Winter, Spring) your child wishes to try out for, you must complete a new, current PREPARTICIPATION PHYSICAL EVALUATION HISTORY FORM.
Fall and Spring Sports - Information for Spectators Unlike winter sports that are inside the school and have adult supervision provided by BCMS, we do not provide students with spectator supervision for spring after school activities. Since the earliest time, a game will start is forty-five minutes after school is dismissed, all students need to leave school following their usual dismissal routines. Students with adult supervision are encouraged and welcomed to come back to school to cheer our teams on at the game at the start time. Please do not send permission slips that your child can stay for a game as your child will be sent home under their normal routine. Thank you for your understanding and support of our teams.
