Hello SLA Families, We hope you are enjoying your summer and gearing up for the start of school. If your child is interested in participating in a FALL SPORT at SLA, please take some time to read the message below.

I wanted to share our first week of pre-season information. All teams will have two weeks of pre-season with some (soccer, volleyball) sports kicking off their competitive seasons with games the week of August 28th (note: this is the week before school starts for students. Please plan accordingly.)

All athletes MUST have a fully completed (sections 1-6) and signed PIAA physical form in order to try out, practice and/or compete. Even if you have submitted it electronically, please bring a fully completed PAPER copy to the first day of tryouts or email it directly to the coach beforehand. Please be sure that you have your doctor complete the appropriate form. A traditional physical form does not take the place of the PIAA form and will not give your child clearance to participate.

We understand that some tryout dates/times may interfere with 9th grade Summer Institute—we are more likely to see cooler weather in the morning hours. Please be assured that no freshman will be excluded from a team due to attending Summer Institute and freshmen should prioritize their attendance at Summer Institute. However, they should be sure to attend any practices that occur outside of SI days and hours and communicate with the respective coaches.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you have any questions about athletics at SLA.

Go Rockets!

Ms. Siswick, Athletic Director
