Fall Sports
As we get ready for fall sports, a few reminders
- All members of N.H.S. teams must have a complete physical examination before they can try out for a sport. The physical must be documented on the blue health form: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/sde/school-nursing/forms/health_assessment_record.pdf and is good for thirteen months and from the date on the form. These forms can be found in the nurse's office, athletic director's office, main office or on nighthawksports.com.
- Please email this form to the NHS nurses office, dalys@newtown.k12.ct.us
- All members of N.H.S. teams must register for their respective sport online through FamilyID. This link is on the homepage at nighthawksports.com and here: https://www.familyid.com/organizations/search?query=
- Pay To Participate Fee: All fall sports are $205. There is a family cap of $500
- The pay-to-participate fee will be due during registration. If a student does not make a team, this fee will be immediately reimbursed.
- All coaches' names and email addresses can be found below.
