2020-2021 Athletic Participation

A link for the 2020-2021 Athletics packet is found on this page.  Changes have been made to the packet, so be sure you are using the most up-to-date packet, or this will delay clearance to participate in sports.

Students that submit paperwork for Summer Conditioning (as long as it is on the new forms) will NOT need to redo paperwork for 2020-2021 with the exception of a new physical when it expires.  However, school insurance will have to be purchased for the 2020-2021 school year prior to fall sports participation (which currently is July 27^th).  Please wait till the rollover occurs (around July 1^st 2020) to purchase insurance for the new year.

If you have any questions about paperwork or general athletic questions, please contact Michele Copello at CopelloM@pcsb.org   If you have specific sport related questions, please contact the coach (see list below).

In addition to the paperwork, please make sure to include the following: 

1. Certificates for the annual watching of the 3 required safety videos:  Concussions / Heat Illness Prevention / Sudden Cardiac Arrest (they must have the student name on the certificate - if viewed under someone else's account, each certificate needs to be signed by the student).  Videos can be found atwww.nfhslearn.com  
2. Mandatory School Insurance - purchased athttps://www.pcsb.org/Page/15271.  Athletes playing tackle football must purchase football insurance (will cover all other sports throughout the year).  Athletes not playing tackle football can choose from the At School or 24 Hour options - they DO NOT purchase insurance for each sport they are playing...one will cover all sports.
3. Birth certificate copy (not original) for incoming students
4. Covid Wavier Form – new requirement – see link on the right side of this page

NOTES:  Band paperwork will NOT be accepted in lieu of Athletics paperwork.  The forms are NOT the same.  If a student is participating in both Band and a Sport, he/she must fill out separate packets.  Students must have ALL of the above completed to even do summer conditioning.
