Winter Sports
December - March
As we get ready for Winter 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 from the date on the form. These forms can be found in the nurse's office, athletic director's office or Main Office.
- 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. https://www.familyid.com/organizations/search?query=
- Pay To Participate Fee: All winter 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.
