TRANSPORTATION
ATHLETIC FEES
There are no athletic fees for this season
STUDENT PHYSICALS
All student-athletes must have a current physical on file. The MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association that governs school sports) requires that the student have seen a doctor in-person visit within the last 13 months and must contain a section that says the student may participate in school sports with no restrictions (or with the following restrictions).
NO STUDENT CAN PARTICIPATE IN ANY PRACTICES OR CONTESTS WITHOUT THIS.
Due to the availability of school nurses, we STRONGLY SUGGEST that ALL registrants attach their current physical even if you think you have already submitted it. This will allow the school nurses to approve registrations remotely, therefore clearing students to start on the first day of their sport.
If your student's physical has expired and you cannot get an appointment with your pediatrician, CVS MinuteClinic at 189 Watertown St, Watertown, MA 02472 does a low-cost student sports physical.
