Hello SLA Families,
We hope you are enjoying the last few weeks of summer! See below for the first week of tryout/pre-season information for our fall sports. All student-athletes MUST have a fully completed PIAA physical (linked here) dated June 1, 2021 or later in order to participate in any workout. If families encounter difficulties obtaining a physical from their physician’s office, most urgent care clinics will complete them for $40-50.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the coaches and/or our Athletic Director, Ms. Siswick, with any questions or concerns.
