Athletic Director: Mrs. Kristen Cardona Winter Sports Cancelled Branchburg Central Middle School has canceled winter sports. After looking at the virus rate and considering the risk of having students from other districts interacting closely with our athletes indoors, the decision was made to cancel winter sports. We hope that conditions are better in the spring so we can provide our athletes with some opportunity to compete.

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. If you miss the deadline, it will be your responsibility to deliver the physical form to the school physicians for their review and then to return the form to the BCMS Health Office prior to the try-out date. Failure to comply will result in your child being ineligible to try out for the sport desired.
Please review the completed physical form to ensure that all medical information has been provided. Incomplete forms, with areas left blank, will be returned to you for your follow up with your physician.

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.
