- If you have a physical on file, you must still obtain COVID clearance (Document 4) to participate in a sport
- All student athletes must obtain a COVID clearance (Document 4) before being allowed to practice, and the Medical Director will be granting that clearance in an effort to avoid any of our student-athletes from having to make an appointment with their own Personal Health Care Provider
- For those student-athletes that may need assistance in getting to the MS/HS between 9am and 12non on Wednesday, February 17, 2021, please email Athletic Director Witkiewicz for assistance. rwitkiewicz@nacs1.org
- All student-athletes who do not attend Wednesday, February 17, 2021’s Clearance Opportunity, will need to obtain COVID clearance from their Personal Health Care Provider which may cause a delay in when you may start practicing.
- All cleared Varsity student-athletes may begin practicing after they receive clearance on Wednesday, February 17th, however the coaches will inform you as to when practices will start.
- All JV and Modified practices will not begin until at least Saturday, February 27, 2021. Information regarding the specifics of the JV and Modified programs will be forthcoming.
