It’s almost time for high school sports.
In an email sent to parents, Hancock High School Principal/Athletic Director Chris Salani, said parents can expect information next week, on a webinar he’ll be hosting, in preparation for the upcoming Fall sports season.
Topics to be covered include the student-athlete code of conduct, eligibility information, the emergency medical authorization consent form and the concussion awareness and management program.
If your student athlete had a physical last year, they are good for this year.
An updated Health Questionnaire will need to be completed, and Salani recommended getting a physical, for your protection.
If this is your student athlete’s first year, and no physical is on record, they will need one.
So far, free physicals usually offered by UP Health System Portage and the Upper Great Lakes Family Health Center are not being offered this year.
