Winter Tryout Information

Stay tuned! We will update this page with Winter 2020-21 tryout information as soon as we can.

Conditioning for some Winter Sport RETURNING VARSITY athletes will begin on Monday, October 19th.

Official tryouts for ALL SPORTS and ALL LEVELS will begin on a date Tuesday, January 19th.

All FinalForms must be completed and a valid current physical must be on file with us before anyone can begin conditioning and/or tryouts. Information for FinalForms can be found under Athletic Program Forms to the right of this page.

Students can only tryout for one team per season! Should a student get cut from their team of choice, they can potentially join another team in some situations. Please see Mr. Butler or Ms. Nasser to inquire about this.

Students must be hybrid learning to participate in athletics. Any students who are full virtual will not be able to tryout for or participate on a team.

Athletic Program Forms

For current student-athletes and their parents, there are required forms that must be completed to participate. Additionally, there are informative documents listed that discuss expectations and policies upheld by the athletic program of St Joseph High School.

FinalForms - Participation Forms

We are very excited to announce that we've partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students.

Click on the Parent Playbook to get started in FinalForms. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click “Use Support”.

We are asking that ALL parents of athletes use FinalForms. Forms must be completed for anyone to participate in winter conditioning starting on 10/19. YOU MAY ONLY TRY OUT FOR ONE SPORT PER SEASON.

Please register at: https://stjoseph-ct.finalforms.com/ and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students and sign your forms. Both parents and students are required to sign forms.

Transportation Waiver

Athletes are expected to travel to and from games on the bus with their team. However, we do grant waivers for very special circumstances (i.e. you live closer to the away site than to St Joe's). Please sign, have your child's coach sign and then have your child bring the Transportation Waiver Form in person to Mr Butler or Ms Nasser directly if there is a specific game that your child cannot ride the bus back to school following a game. This form needs to be approved at least 24 hours before the game for which it applies:

Transportation Waiver Form (must be submitted in person and must be signed by coach and AD)

For any questions, contact Ms Nasser at snasser@sjcadets.org
