Dear Spring Student-Athletes and Families,

The Spring Sports Information and Meet the Coaches Night will be held on Monday, February 26th at 6:00PM in the Main Gymnasium at New Milford High School.  This letter is to remind you of some important information on the Spring Sports Season, Spring Sport Online Registration, reminders about academic eligibility, and start dates for practices for Spring Sports. 

Spring Sports Registration is open for all sports.  Please click on this link to register for Spring Sports:  

https://students.arbitersports.com/new-milford-high-school/new-milford-2024-spring-athletics-registration

The deadline to register for Spring Sports is March 4, 2024.  If you are not registered, and if you do not have an up to date physical, you will not be allowed to participate in practices or competitions.  Our coaches will have a copy of the registration report, so they will always have up to date knowledge of who is registered and cleared.  In order to complete the online registration, both students and parents need to read and electronically sign the athletic permission form, concussion education plan and consent, the sudden cardiac arrest form, the exertional heat illness form, and the COVID notice of risk form.  In addition to completing the online registration, it is necessary that a SIGNED, UP TO DATE PHYSICAL IS UPLOADED TO THE REGISTRATION PAGE.  If you cannot upload your most recent physical, then you must bring, fax, or email a copy of your most recent physical to the nurse by the deadlines stated above.  The ENTIRE physical must be uploaded or physically brought in to the nurse.  There are instructions on the registration page on how to upload physicals.  **Athletic Physicals are good for 13 months.  Without completing the registration and uploading an up to date physical, a student may not participate in any practices or games.  One other note with the online registration is for the Student ID #.  If you have not been assigned an ID # or if you don’t know what it is, you can enter “N/A” and complete your registration.

Academic Eligibility – Academic Eligibility for the start of the Spring Season is based off of the final Marking Period 2 grades.  Student-athletes must have passed at least 4 credits for the 2nd Marking Period, per CIAC eligibility requirements.  That being said, the 3rd Marking Period ends on March 25th and will be released on April 4th  In order for a student-athlete to remain eligible to continue with the Spring Season, he/she must be passing 4 credits worth of 3rd Marking Period grades.  If a student-athlete does not have 4 credits worth of passing 3rd Marking Period grades, his/her season will be over when the 3rd Marking Period grades are released. Academics should always be your #1 focus.  There are no sports without taking care of your academics.
