***
Hudson High School student-athletes must have the following items on file in the Athletic Department in order to participate in spring sports:
1. Physical Examination Form – MIAA Mandate:
Please upload your child's current physical when prompted on the Family ID registration form. We are no longer collecting hard copies; any new physical form should be uploaded to the existing registration for your child. HHS Athletics will get a notification that the registration has been updated.
If the exam takes place after registration closes, please go into your registration and click on "Add or Update Information" for any completed registration, this will let you back in to upload their physicals whether the program is closed or not.
Do not send your child's physical exam to the nurses for Athletics.
Physicals expire 13 months after the date of the health exam. No athlete will be permitted to play or tryout with an expired physical.
2. Athletic Fee:
The athletic fee is $125.00 for Baseball, Softball, Lacrosse, Tennis, and Outdoor Track. There is no fee for Unified Track. The fee must be paid before you are allowed to receive a uniform. Please contact the athletic department regarding athletic fee waivers or cash/check payments. If your family qualifies for Free/Reduced Lunch, the fee for Athletics will also be free or reduced ($62.50).
3. Concussion Forms – National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) Mandate:
Parents must provide information to the school at the start of each sports season regarding any previous student-athlete head injury. Additionally, both parents and student-athletes MUST complete Concussion in Sports certification – the free online course is available at www.nfhslearn.com.
NFHS Implicit Bias Course and the MIAA DEI Pledge
In order to gain a better understanding of actions, language and behavior which can be interpreted as discriminatory in nature and to confirm their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, student athletes, coaches and athletic directors should take the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) free online course entitled Implicit Bias and take the MIAA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Pledge. It is recommended that school administrators (coaches and athletic directors) take the course and pledge every school year, prior to the start of the academic year. Student-athletes should take the course and pledge every year prior to the start of their first athletic season.
The Athletic Handbook is included in the Student Handbook. An online version can be found on the HHS website under Parent/Student Resources. It is important that both student-athletes and parents read through it thoroughly.
If you have any questions or concerns about Spring Sports registration or participation, please feel free to contact me at jlwinders@hudson.k12.ma.us or 978-567-6250 ext. 11112.
Sincerely,
Jessica Winders
