Summer 2018 Conditioning Information

Any student participating in a sport that is having summer conditioning must have paperwork on file with the school.  The paperwork to be used for summer conditioning is the 2017-2018 paperwork.  Please email the Athletic Coordinator, Michele Copello, to get a copy of this paperwork if you need it:  CopelloM@pcsb.org.   If your sport does NOT have summer conditioning, there is no need to submit paperwork until after July 1^st 2018 for the 2017-2018 school year.

Students 9^th -11^th that participated in a sport or submitted paperwork with Athletic Coordinator and were CLEARED for sports are good for summer conditioning unless physical expires.  If physical expires during summer, the student must have a new one on file to continue participation.  Please check with Athletic Coordinator or coach (as they get periodic updates) to see if your child is cleared prior to showing up for conditioning.  Anyone not cleared will be sent home.

To be cleared to participate, students must have:
