Important Athletic Information

Athletes that Participated in Winter and Spring Athletics 2020-21

Awards have been given to all Seniors with their Cap and Gown.  Non-Senior awards will be given out at a disclosed time in the future. 

We expect a lot of changes in sports due to current CDC/State Covid regulations.  Please do not email me about these guidelines.  We will release information as decisions are made by the county.

Summer Conditioning 2020

Due to CDC/State Covid regulations, we will begin phasing in sports with limited summer conditioning beginning on June 15^th.  At this time only Fall Sports will be allowed to condition. 

In order to participate in summer conditioning, all paperwork needs to be up-to-date with the school.  Those that submitted 2019-2020 and were cleared, will only need to be concerned about their physical expiration (good for 1 calendar year from physical date) AND will need to submit a Summer Waiver form.   Those that did not participate in sports will need to submit a completed athletics packet, the three mandatory video certificates, insurance (Summer Participants), a birth certificate (if you are an incoming student) and the Summer Waiver Form.  Links to the packet, Summer Waiver, videos and insurance can be found on this page. 

At this time, it is best to submit documents via email to Michele Copello, Athletic Coordinator at CopelloM@pcsb.org.  Any packets dropped off at the school will have a much longer turn-around time for clearance as I am working from home and will only visit the school once a week to pick up paperwork.  Be sure that your email address is on the packet if you submit it in person.

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. Please make sure email is somewhere on the paperwork

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.

If you have any questions, please email the Athletic Coordinator, Michele Copello:  copellom@pcsb.org
