Athletics: Fall Sports Update

Our fall sports at Indian Valley include football for boys, field hockey for girls, and co-ed soccer for boys and girls. Sign ups for all three sports were held the week of June 2nd to 6th. At these meetings, students received an information packet. In order to participate, students need to fulfill the following obligations BEFORE the first day of practice on September 4, 2008:

• Complete sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the CIPPE form. This form can be downloaded from the district website. Go to "middle school" then "Athletics" to print the form. You will need to contact your family physician for a student sports physical. The physical must be completed prior to the first day of practice.
• Complete the Insurance Waiver. Completing this waiver indicates the parents have insurance covering the student in the event of an injury. This waiver is good for the school year once a parent has signed off if the student decides to go out for a winter or spring sport.

These two items are due BEFORE the first day of practice on September 4, 2008. Because our seasons are short in duration and our rosters carry a lot of players, students must be ready to go on the first day of practice. This is why we met during the first week in June. No student may join a team once the season is in progress.

Hand in both the CIPPE form and Insurance Waiver at the same time. They may be turned in to the Main Office at Indian Valley during the summer or you may bring both to the Athletic Office on the first day of school. Once both obligations are received by Mr. Handerhan, the student is officially signed up for that sport and placed on the team roster.
