Looking ahead to next school year, if the fall and winter sports seasons proceed as usual, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) will permit student athletes to participate in the fall 2020 sports season if they have previously had a health examination for school attendance in the 2018-2019 or 2019-2020 school years. A copy of this physical must be on file with the school nurse.
Student athletes must also provide a health history completed and signed by their parent/guardian within 30 days of the start of the season. This health history form will be a part of the new online registration process that will be used by BKW for the 2020-21 school year.
Student athletes who have not previously had a health examination must still obtain a health examination prior to participation in the fall 2020 sports season. At this time, students should plan to obtain the required health examination prior to participation in the winter or spring 2020-21 seasons, although that may change depending on the status of COVID-19 in
the fall.
The Athletic Department will provide updated information as needed.
