In collaboration with the Frederick County Health Department, the FCPS COVID-19 Return to Play Committee has finalized plans to provide structured small group in-person conditioning and skill-based practices for fall, spring and winter sports during designated first semester voluntary “practice seasons". Guidelines: 2020 First Semester Voluntary Conditioning and Skill Based Practice Seasons
Spring Sports Practice Season
Dates: Monday, September 28, 2020 to Wednesday, October 21, 2020
CHS practice schedule: Practice Schedule
Winter Sports Practice Season
Dates: Monday, October 26, 2020 to Wednesday, November 18, 2020
CHS Schedule: TBD
All conditioning and small group skill-based practices are voluntary, open to all high school students, and will not factor into second semester team selection. Activities will be held outside and will be conducted in pods of 10-15 students while taking into consideration all COVID-19 Precautionary Measures.
In order to participate, students must complete the online athletic registration AND turn in hard copies of an updated (April 1, 2020 or after) sports physical AND the FCPS Covid-19 Parent-Student-Athlete Participation Acknowledgement Statement to the coach or school’s Certified Athletic trainer on the first day of the conditioning and skill-based practice season.
You can drop off the required hard copies forms during a convenient drive-thru at CHS on Friday, September 25, 4:00 - 6:00 pm. Families can pull in front of the school, stop by our tent, and turn in the student-athlete's physical and parent/student-athlete Covid-19 waiver form.
There is no athletic participation fee for these first semester activities.
