Getting Ready for Fall Sports and Clubs

Tryout dates, required paperwork, and gear checks for a smooth start to extracurriculars.

Confirm tryout dates and any required sports physical or medical release form well ahead of time -- many leagues won't allow a student to practice without one on file. Do a gear check a week before the season starts: cleats that still fit, a working water bottle, and any required protective equipment. Add practice and game dates to the family calendar right away.
