Bayside Athletic Information
Philosophy:
Bayside Middle School has a no cut policy for all participants. Students are encouraged to go out for multiple sports and display good sportsmanship at all events. The coaching staff promotes teamwork and skill development for each sport. The majority of after school sports are designed for 7th and 8th grade students (with the exception of cross country) Most practices and games will be held Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (and some Fridays for tennis). Practices will be held after school and go until 4:30. Most games will begin at 4:00 pm. The 5th and 6th grade students will have access to the Bayside Intramural Program (see below).
Student Expectations:
All students are expected to attend all practices and games, unless they have made other arrangements with their coach. Students do need to be in school for the majority of the day in order to participate in games and practices. Students are expected to follow the behavior guidelines established in the Bayside Student Handbook during the school day and at all athletic events. Failure to follow the behavior guidelines could result in a loss of practice or game time. Students must also keep up with their academics in order to stay eligible. Students with missing work may need to miss practice or game time in order to finish up their work.
Cost:
There is a $30 sport fee for each sport. There is also a $90 family cap for the year. Payments can be made on the Bayside website, or a check can be made out to Bayside Middle School.
Eligibility:
All students must have a valid physical form on file before they can practice or participate in a game. Physicals are valid for two years from the time of the examination. The physical form does need to be signed by a physician. We highly encourage that families take care of the physicals during the summer time. The concussion waiver form also needs to be turned in before a student can practice or participate in a game. The concussion form needs to be signed by a parent and the athlete. Both forms can be found on the Bayside website under Parent Resources.
To find the Heath Examination Form and/or the Parent and Athlete Agreement, please navigate to the Parent Resources page.
Sign-ups:
Sign-ups generally occur during PE class with Mr. Barry and Mrs. Fularczyk. At this time, students can sign up and pick up the practice schedule and any other paperwork.
