Buddy Gifts

Buddy gifts will be done on Friday and Saturday games. Varsity has 6 total buddy gift days on Saturdays and a Friday. JV has 4 Buddy gift days on Saturdays and a Friday. JV will be paired with JV and Varsity will be paired with Varsity for buddy gifts. Please do not spend more than 5 dollars on a buddy gift. It can be anything ranging from gatorade to a funny gift from the dollar store. Again, please do not spend a lot of money on these gifts so we can keep them fair among teammates.

Thank you!

August Practices

Families and Athletes,
Please note that JV and Varsity practices will differ in the month of August. Athletes will know which team they will be a part of on August 6. If you are on JV your practices will be from 4:30-6:30 starting Thursday, August 7. If you are on Varsity, your practices will be in the morning beginning at 8:30 AM. There will be VARSITY scrimmages on August 11, 14, 19, and 21st with times being tentative. I am currently in the process of trying to move the scrimmages to a later time to accommodate our JV coach. Please be patient with this. JV will have scrimmages on August 14, 19, and 21st. Please check highschoolsports.net for an updated game schedule so you can mark your calendars early! Our first match is Saturday, August 23...so, that is coming up very soon! Thanks for your support, and we will keep you updated on any further changes!

Message from Kim Stercula

Coaches,

Open the attachment to see the announcement we've created for Physicals Night, Wed, June 4. Please share this information with your student-athletes and parents via email, phone calls, banquets, or team/parent meetings ASAP. Please note, there are two (2) required forms we need to have completed and available to the athletic department PRIOR to ANY PARTICIPATION in practices starting this July.

The first is the Medical/Travel Release form the parents complete on line. This form has three (3) sections; Emergency Medical Authorization, Health History, and Over-The-Counter Medication Authorization. Parents can accompany their children (grades 7 - 12) to physicals night June 4 and complete/review the Medical/Travel Release form in the computer lab in Dennett Hall at the same time the student-athletes are receiving their physicals.

The pre-participation physical exam (PPE) form is the second document we need on file. Parents fill out pages 1, 3 and 4. The evaluating physician completes page 2. All PPE forms are to be turned in to the Athletic Department once completed and signed by a parent, if the student-athlete is not 18 years old. No activity at least 1 hour prior to having the physicals done.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me or the Athletic Department.

Thanks,

Kim

Wednesday, June 4

Upper School 6:00 pm
Middle School 6:45 pm

Parents and students meet in the Dining Hall.
(Screening exams are held in Dennett Hall after sign-in at the Dining Hall)

This opportunity is offered to all student-athletes enrolled at CA entering grades 7 thru 12 in the 2008 – 2009 academic year. All student-athletes must have BOTH their on-line Medical/Travel Release form & physical form (PPE) completed and on file at Columbus Academy PRIOR to attending the first practice. The Medical/Travel Release form has 3 sections for you to complete or review; Emergency Medical Authorization, Health History, & Over-the-Counter Medication Authorization. The PPE form is valid for one calendar year from the exam date. Blank forms are available on the CA intranet (Athletic Health Forms), on the OHSAA web site, in the Athletic Department, in the Athletic Training Room, and in the Dining Hall the evening of the exams. Turn in all completed PPE forms to the Athletic Department.

Page 1 (along with pages 3 & 4) of the PPE form needs to be completed and signed by a parent/guardian PRIOR to the exam, giving the physician permission to evaluate the student-athlete. Please note that this is only a sports screening exam. It does not take the place of a thorough well-child check that is performed by your primary care physician. If you have any questions, please call Kim Stercula, Head Athletic Trainer, at 509-2257 (O) or 395-3908 (M).
