2020-2021 Covid-19 Athletics Update

Dear Leland student athletes and families,

I hope this message finds you and your families safe and well.

I wanted to write to all student athletes and families in regards to the CIF and CCS press releases recently about athletics for the 2020-2021 school year.  If the conditions to return to athletic competition allow us to do so, the calendars below will guide our schedule for this school year.  There will be no athletic contests during the first semester, but if conditions improve, there is a plan to have a condensed schedule starting with games in January.  

The school and administration are still working on specifics in regards to this new athletic calendar and the impacts here at school.  We know this news may be disappointing but we are supporting our community's efforts to get back to good health and we will do everything we can to support our student-athletes and teams. 

Please note that some sports have changed seasons for this year.

These start dates are the first day sports are permitted to hold formal practices and tryouts. Any preseason workouts, open gyms, open fields, etc. will be communicated on a sport by sport basis. All of the communication will come via Register My Athlete.

So what can you do now? Here are some steps to make sure you are kept in the loop and ready to go when your season(s) start:

• Schedule a pre-participation physical with your child’s doctor. Physicals are an annual requirement and must be submitted and approved prior to any participation in Leland athletics. Do it now! Appointments may be hard to come by as we get closer to the start of the school year.
• Complete the registration on www.registermyathlete.com. All athletes should register now (incoming freshmen) or update their registration (returning students), regardless of the season they plan to participate in. When you do this select ALL of the sports your child plans to participate in this year.
• For incoming freshmen, your middle school account will not work if you had one, you will need to do the following to change the school:

Login to your account, click Parent (even if the former school's logo is here), and click Start/Complete a Registration.  Then click to Start a New Registration. Select the NEW school when it asks you to select the school.  This will attach the new registration to his/her new school.

• You may upload your completed physical to Register My Athlete once it is signed by the physician, dated, and stamped by their office.
• Get in contact with (or stay in contact with) the varsity head coach of the sport(s) your child plans to participate in. The coach’s email can be found on www.lelandathletics.com under their particular sport.

Further communication with regard to the 2020-2021 athletic season will come via Register My Athlete so it is important to register now in order to get all relevant information.

Stay safe and healthy!
