The following things need to be
completed prior to participation in fall sports
Participation Eligibility
Students are, in a wholly inclusive manner, able to participate in the fall
athletic program to start the 2020-2021 school year. Following the completion
of the virtual period, and with the start of in-person instruction and
in-person athletics, standard eligibility protocols will be followed. This means
report cards distributed on February 11, 2021 will impact eligibility. In order
for students to be eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics, the
quarter grades that are received prior to the start of that season must
demonstrate a minimum GPA of 2.0 (unweighted) and no more than one ‘E’. A
student who does not meet either of those standards, or both, shall be
ineligible until the next sport season, given that there is an opportunity with
another quarter grade to re-establish eligibility.
Registration and Physical Exam
Registration of BCPS interscholastic athletics is hosted by FormReleaf.com
The specific page for Overlea High School registrations can be found
here:
https://app.formreleaf.com/organizations/overlea-high-school
Students will
need to be registered in order to participate in the Fall season. That registration will carry-over into the
second semester, where more traditional, in-person seasons, are scheduled to be
conducted. There is a separate
registration for each sport, and we will work with the following calendar and
registration windows:
The Physical Exam forms which are still required, are now slightly
different. The new form includes an
additional COVID-19 page, which must be completed for all physical exams prior
to participation. You may fax completed forms to 443 or email bmalinowski@bcps.org
The updated form can be found by clicking on the following link:
https://www.mpssaa.org/assets/1/6/Physical_Evaluation_Form.pdf
As always, a
completed physical exam that is on file, is good for one calendar year.
What
Does the Season Look Like?
Semester Two: In-Person Interscholastic Athletics
Fall starts on Saturday February 13th
At this time, the tentative plan is for a resumption of the competitive,
in-person seasons, according to the table above.
More details about scope and sequence of seasons, schedules, equipment
distribution, etc. will follow.
