WINTER SPORTS INFORMATION!!!
Hi Everyone,
Although Middle School basketball has already started, other sports will be starting right after Thanksgiving. I have had signups outside of my office for the past two weeks and have gone through to check physicals etc. Athletes should check the lists to make sure everything is up to date and they are cleared to try out. For anyone who missed signups, they should come see me to sign up ASAP. Schedules have been updated and are on the athletic website at www.hopkintonschools.org.
COVID PROTOCOLS
First and foremost, we need to stress that if your son or daughter doesn't feel well, they should not be coming to school or practice/game. It was much appreciated this fall that athletes self screened; please let's keep it up this winter. Second, masks are still required in the school at all times (with one exception below!). In locker rooms, if teams are meeting in the building, on the bench - masks are required. In the gym, when actively participating, masks will be optional for those participants only. On buses, masks will need to be worn. We realize that means no food on the buses and games/meets tend to be later in the winter. With that in mind we encourage parents to consider driving their own kids home from events - they can be fed! If you want to do this, it does need to be cleared through me via an email at least by noon the day of the game/event. I will respond to an email and cc the coach, and that way we have written permission to be transported home. As always, parents/guardians may only transport their own sons or daughters. There is the chance that some of these protocols could change during the season but as of now this is what we need to follow.
TRYOUT NEEDS
As mentioned above athletes need to have signed up and we need a copy of a physical from within the past two years. All other forms are accessible on the myschoolbucks website, and within a week or so of the start of the season those forms must be completed. Athletes can not play in games, ride buses, or receive uniforms until those are done. They are accessible here: https://www.myschoolbucks.com/
TRYOUT DATES AND TIMES
Monday Nov 29th
HS Girls Basketball 3:30-5:30 in gym
HS Boys Basketball 5:30-7:30 in gym
MS Nordic 3:15-4:30 meet in min caf
***First MS Basketball games of the season at Hampstead 3:30/4:45!!!
Tuesday Nov 30th
Ice Hockey 9-10pm at NEC Arena
HS Alpine 6-7:30 in back parking lot
Monday Dec 6th
HS Nordic 3:15 meet in mini caf
SPECIFIC SPORTS INFORMATION
ALPINE - Trainings at Pats Peak, and we may need skiers to have a season pass at Pats. Still working out the kinks there. Many races this year have limits to the number of racers we can bring, so we will not be transporting everyone to every meet.
BASKETBALL - Every school has their own covid-protocols, and people need to follow the home school rules. In our gym (and virtually all others), there will be no limit to fans but all fans must wear masks at all times. Due to this, we will not be offering concessions at least to start, and will not allow coffees/drinks etc into the gym. For those who are uncomfortable attending, can't make games, or will not follow the mask requirement, we will be livestreaming all of our games on the NFHS network like last year. More information on that will be forthcoming.
HOCKEY - We follow the rules of the arenas we play in and, as above, will let parents know about individual rink restrictions.
NORDIC - Planning on most trainings at the Fairgrounds, just need some snow! Will update on any individual restrictions as they happen.
I'm sure I am forgetting something, but hopefully this starts to answer the questions you have about winter sports as of right now. Thanks!
Dan
