School sports about to start

With football and cheerleading practices starting today, and the rest of fall sports starting Monday, a parent/coaches meeting is scheduled for next Monday, Aug. 24, in the Lake Roosevelt Junior/Senior High School lunchroom at 6 p.m.

Parents can meet with coaches, ask questions, and pick up forms that must be filled out for participation.

Those forms are also available for download at the district website at http://www.gcdsd.org. Click on the “Athletes” toolbar. Scroll down to the forms you need, and click on the document, then select “open” on the space bar to read the form. You should be able to print the forms, also.

Athletic Director Rich Black said all junior/senior high school student athletes are required annually to have a current sports physical and certain other forms turned in to the athletic department in order to practice and play in games.

The forms are: 1) Permission Form, 2) Assumption of Risk Form, 3) Concussion Form, 4) Health History Form, and 5) Concussion Testing Consent Form, along with the Physical Exam Form.
