2005 Fall Season Practice Start Dates
August 9, 2005


The 2005 Fall Athletic Season at Pingry will be here before we know it. Here are the important dates that all athletes should plan around. Please remember that all athletes must have turned in their Physical Form and their Athletic Participation / Release Form before they are allowed to participate in team practices. These forms should be returned to school nurse Joanne Childs and Athletic Trainer Mike Lalley before August 8th. If a student does not have an up to date physical form or athletic participation / release form turned into the school they will not be allowed to practice. It is a good idea to keep a copy of both forms for your records in case there is a problem with the mail. Listed below are the starting dates for each fall sport. Please feel free to call the coach of the sport you are interested in if you have any questions.

Please remember that all upper school sports teams often have practice sessions and games on weekend and school holidays. All athletes should plan their schedules carefully to make sure they are in town and ready for all practices and games.

Go Big Blue!
