Dear Upper School Families,

We had a great 2018 fall season! As we look ahead to winter, I'd like to highlight some important dates and policies:
FALL SEASON WRAP-UP
TEAM UNIFORM + SCHOOL-ISSUED EQUIPMENT RETURN
When: Thursday, November 8 ( for teams not in postseason play)
The athletic department will send out a notice to all coaches and players regarding the time and location for uniform return.

We will inventory all fall uniforms over Thanksgiving break and send out a notice of items that are still missing. Each unreturned item is subject to a $100 per item charge to your family's school account.

ATHLETIC AWARDS
All Upper School varsity and junior varsity athletes will be recognized among their individual teams at the end of the season.
WINTER SEASON
TEAM TRYOUTS
When: Monday, November 12
Tryouts for winter teams including the 13.1 Project begin Monday, November 12. Please make sure your child brings proper shoes, practice clothes, and a water bottle with them for practices each day. It is important all athletes attend every practice. 

The winter game practice and game schedules will be posted to the Beaver website on the Teams & Schedules page. Please check the schedule daily, as practice times and gym locations can change on short notice.

TEAM PLACEMENT
Varsity and junior varsity teams have roster caps, as do all Afternoon Activities; therefore, some students will not be placed on a varsity or junior varsity team and will be encouraged to select another Afternoon Activity.

If your child's fall team has postseason play, they will be able to try out for their winter team once their fall season has officially ended. Winter Strength and Conditioning, and Spin will start after the Thanksgiving break on Monday, November 26 along with all other Afternoon Activities.  

ImPACT TESTING
The ImPACT test is MANDATORY for all Upper School students participating in athletics. We use ImPACT testing as a way to monitor an athlete's return to action after suffering a concussion. Please have your child complete the ImPACT test at home prior to tryoutsClick here for instructions on how to take the test. Tests can only be taken after you sign and submit the consent form included in the forms sent through Magnus Health
Many thanks to all of you for supporting Beaver athletics!
