Friday 8:00- 11:00 am
Athletes will not be permitted to try out for any sport without a valid current physical on file with the school nurse that covers the entire season, including postseason.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION:
I emailed/faxed my physical form to the nurse but I received no confirmation. Is my Athlete good to participate ?
The athletic department and the school nurse have been working diligently to get all physicals inputted in a timely manner - this takes some time.
You will not receive individual confirmation that your child's physical has been received.
If coaches have any questions about physicals during tryouts- they have been instructed to send the athlete to the school nurse/contact the athletic director .
Pay to Participate
-
The Ellington Board of Education finds it necessary to establish a participation fee for all board-funded interscholastic athletics, teams of one and co-op teams may be different. Fall 2022-2023 sports are $100.00 per athlete. There is a $500.00 annual family cap. This cap applies only to Ellington High School interscholastic sports.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION:
2) What about Pay to Participate? Is it the same as last year? Should I just bring a check into the school ?
This year we are working on an electronic system for pay to participate. At this time, the athletic department and IT department are working to get the system up and running.
ALL athletes will be able to try out for their respected sport . Payment for participation will be communicated to parents at a later time with instructions.
Please PLEASE please - DO NOT bring/send checks into the main office-
**Athletes will be allowed to practice/ strength train/condition with the team as long as online signup and valid physical is on file. Athletes who have not paid the pay to participate fee will not be eligible to participate in any games until their account is in good standing. For more information please contact Anderson Rawlins, Director of Athletics and Wellness.
