All student-athletes for winter sports must have an up-to-date physical – one conducted between Nov. 29, 2020 and the start of the upcoming season. You should provide this information to the school nurse. Please also watch for more information this fall about physicals.

Students can receive COVID-19 vaccinations at the Albany High school-based health center operated by Whitney M. Young Jr. Health Center. Please call ahead for an appointment at (518) 407-0172.

You also can click here for a list of COVID-19 vaccination sites and clinics offered by the Albany County Health Department.

Any student-athlete who has tested positive for COVID-19 at any point in the past must have proof of a normal electrocardiogram (EKG) to be cleared to participate in a fall sport. The EKG can have been performed at any time after the student-athlete recovered from COVID-19. 

Proof of a normal EKG also is required to be able to have a district physical for all student-athletes who previously have tested positive for COVID-19. The district can assist families with arranging an EKG if necessary.
