Tryouts for Newtown High School fall sports are fast approaching.

All students who are trying out for a team at Newtown High must bring the following items on the first day of practice (remember, no student will be allowed to try out without a physical form and a parent permission form):

 

1) Physical Form – A physical is good for 13 months from the time that it was signed  by the doctor. These yellow forms are located in the  Newtown High School nurse’s office, the main office, and at nighthawksports.com. No other form will be accepted.

2) Parent Permission Form – A parent permission form must be filled out and  signed by a parent and the student for each new  sports season. These forms are located on the back of the yellow physical form.

3) Pay To Participate Fee – The pay-to participate fee will be collected once the final teams have been selected. These fees are NON-REFUNDABLE once a student-athlete is selected for a team. All checks should be made out to Newtown High School.

Football ($125), cheerleading ($50), cross country ($50), field hockey ($125), volleyball ($125), soccer ($125), girls swimming ($125).
