Information from the Nurse's Office:
High School athletes have signed up for Fall Sports at school. All students will need to have a current physical (dated on or after August 1, 2018) and a Parent Permission/Health History form in order to be "cleared" by the School Nurse for tryouts which will begin August 13, 2018. The required forms will be mailed home in the middle of July (Also available as a link). The Parent Permission/Health History form cannot be signed before July 15, 2018. The completed forms can be placed in a "drop box" at the High School beginning on July 15. The nurses will check the box once a week to "clear" students for participation. You may also drop off completed forms to the School Nurse during Summer School at Lisha Kill Middle School from 7:30 am to 12:40 pm until August 16, 2018.
*Parent Permission/Health History CANNOT be accepted before August 1, 2018. NYS regulation requires the most current medical history, no more than 30 days before tryouts.
You may also choose to bring the Physical and Medication forms to Lisha Kill Middle School
Health Office during summer school hours.
(Do not drop off Parent Permission/Health History forms until August 1, 2017 or later)
Note: Please do not have your son/daughter give these forms to their coaches
Please be aware that all the required paperwork must be reviewed for approval by the school nurse before the first day of tryouts. You will receive tryout dates in the information mailed home to you or your child by the coach.

Uniforms: Due to budget constraints, the district will only be distributing a shirt for the 2016 season. It will be necessary for players to purchase a black "tennis skirt" to compete on the team. To avoid injury, Coach Detrick is recommending players to purchase sneakers that are designed for tennis. The use of sneakers designed for other sports often results in ankle roll-overs and other injuries.

Common question: What if my family has planned a vacation between August 13th and the first day of school?
Answer: The first week of practice is when skills are assessed by the coach and positions in our line up are established. If you are not present, you risk losing a position in the line-up. Players that are not in the line up typically play "exhibition matches" against the teams that also have exhibition players.
