SMS Modified Sports
Dear 7th and 8th Grade Somers Parents:
If your child is in 7th or 8th grade and interested in playing Modified Sports this upcoming 2024 Modified Winter Sports season (Boys/Girls Winter Track, Boys/Girls Wrestling or Ice Hockey), please note that SMS will be using an online program called FamilyID to register for all sports. New York State mandates that any student participating in interscholastic sports must fulfill the following criteria:
1) An annual physical examination.
An annual examination, performed by your child’s own physician, is the ideal way to obtain this critical information, ensure your child’s good health, and satisfy the state’s requirements. Sports Physical Forms should be uploaded/submitted as soon as possible to the SMS health office.
2) An updated health history form.
FamilyID Registration is an online program which replaces the Health History Form (Blue Form) used in the past. This registration must be completed ON or AFTER Nov 4th, 2024.
All of us involved in Somers school sports are proud of our programs and encourage all students to participate. Please help expedite the sports clearance process by completing the necessary paperwork promptly with the Middle School Health Office. We look forward to working together to ensure that your child will be able to participate without any delay.
All paperwork should be uploaded to FamilyID before the start of the season on December 2nd, 2024, to ensure student athletes will be cleared for the start of the sports season.
Regards,
Rob Paulmeno
