Athletes and Parents,
The Winter season is fast approaching...
Winter registration closes November 18th and Winter tryouts begin Monday, November 28th.
The Varsity and JV basketball teams will begin practicing on Monday (11/28). The schedule for tryouts will be posted next week. MS tryouts also begin 11/28. Generally, middle school practices run from 2:30 – 3:30, simultaneously, right after school. However, the first week of the season, the MS girls will go Monday/Wednesday/Friday and the MS boys will go Tuesday/Thursday. This will give each team access to the entire gym while coaches make the decision as to who will be on the final roster. Once again, the schedule for the first week of tryouts will be posted the week of Thanksgiving. Depending on numbers, the entire cheer squad, middle school and varsity, will begin cheering on Monday (11/29). For information regarding Ice Hockey and Gymnastics, or for Alpine Skiing, please refer to the Hudson and Nashoba athletic websites, respectively. As we receive information, we will post it.
*IMPORTANT NOTE
Please check to make sure that your physical is up to date. There are many student athletes that have registered that are not eligible to start the Winter season because their physical is either expired or, being new to Tahanto sports, they have yet to be entered into the database.
PLEASE MAKE A POINT OF CHECKING WITH THE SCHOOL NURSE (sunbeltnurse@bbrsd.org) TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A VALID PHYSICAL ON FILE IN THE TAHANTO ATHLETIC DATABASE.
I will be sending out emails next week to the students who are not in the database, or who are showing an expired physical. If you receive one of these emails, kindly email a copy of the updated physical to and copy me at , or make an appointment for your son/daughter’s physical. Just to be clear, if your son/daughter does not have an active physical in the Tahanto database, they are not eligible to participate in athletics until it is updated.
Lastly…
****The VARSITY GIRLS and BOYS basketball seasons DO NOT END the week before February vacation. There will be two more games over February break. These games will be part of the Central MA playoffs. THERE WILL BE AT LEAST TWO MORE GAMES WITH OPPONENTS TO BE DETERMINED OVER FEBRUARY BREAK. The State Tournament will start the week after February vacation.
