Spring sports information
The 2023 spring season will offer tennis (boys), lacrosse (boys and girls), outdoor track (boys and girls), baseball and softball.
COVID-19 guidance
The district is strongly encouraging all student-athletes in grades 7-12 to be fully vaccinated, including any COVID-19 booster shots for which they are eligible.
All the information in this section regarding COVID-19 vaccinations and EKG requirements is subject to change pending updated health and safety guidance from the state and county health departments.
If your student has had COVID-19 in the past and has not had an EKG to provide cardiac clearance, your student may need an EKG before being cleared to participate in sports.
For example, students who had a more severe COVID-19 infection, or students who were not treated by a physician during their COVID-19 illness, are required to provide proof of a normal EKG to be able to participate in sports. Please have your healthcare provider complete this form.
Students who were treated by a physician during a COVID-19 illness and experienced mild infections (fever of less than three days, and no symptoms referable to their cardiovascular system such as chest pain or rapid heartbeat), are not required to have proof of a normal EKG to be able to participate.
Please talk with your healthcare provider to determine if your child will require an EKG to be eligible for the season.
