Dear Parents/Guardians,
The snow may be piled high, but it’s that time of year when we begin to think about the spring athletics season. I want to communicate with you the testing dates for ImPACT concussion screening, tryout dates for spring sports, and what forms must be completed prior to tryouts.
Lurgio Middle School offers the following sports during the spring season: softball, baseball, coed golf, coed tennis, and girls’ and boys’ track & field. In order to participate in one of our spring sports, you must have the following:
1) A current printed copy of a physical form (within 2 years)
2) A current ImPACT (concussion) test on file (only baseball & softball athletes must have an ImPACT test on file) if you are unsure, please see your coach at the pre-season meeting as they will have an updated list.
3) All sports forms from the Appendix of the Student-Athlete Handbook completed prior to tryouts
-Please click [HERE] for directions on how to complete the paperwork.
-Please click [HERE] to access the online paperwork.
ALL PAPERWORK SHOULD BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE COACH AT THE PRE-SEASON MEETING OR FIRST DAY OF TRY-OUTS/PRACTICE.
For students who have not completed an ImPACT Concussion Test , we will be holding this test on Wednesday, March 20 [LINK to register] immediately following school dismissal for baseball and softball athletes only (only baseball & softball athletes must have an ImPACT test on file). Testing will take place in the RAL Dining Hall and students should bring their Chromebooks. This test runs about 60-90 minutes in length. If you cannot make the test on this day, you may schedule a time to take the test with the Safe Sports Network. They can be contacted at (603) 627-9728. Any student who has already completed an ImPACT test while at Lurgio does not have to take another test. They are valid for two years.
