  DELONG KNIGHTS  

ATHLETICS (2019-20)

 
Attention Delong Incoming 7th and 8th Graders:
 

When you return to DeLong next fall as 7^th and 8^th Graders, you will be eligible to participate in the Middle School Athletic Program.  There are a couple of very important things which you need to do and understand in order to be allowed to participate in after-school activities.  You need to follow these guidelines to be eligible to participate in any Middle School Athletic Activity:

  1.  You must have a current green Athletic Permit/Physical Card on file with the DeLong Athletic Director’s Office.  This card must have the date of your last physical examination (must be within the last two years) and it must have the signature of the health care provider who performed the exam, and the signature of your parent/guardian.  No student will be allowed to practice or participate in any Middle School Athletic activity until this card is properly filled-out and returned to the Athletic Director!  The signatures on this card also indicate that parent and athlete have seen, read, understand, and will comply with the provisions of the Eau Claire School District Middle School Athletic Code.  If you plan to play any sport at DeLong, be sure to look on-line at a copy of the Athletic Code, read it, and share it with your parents/guardians.
 
2.  In addition, you must have passing grades (D or better) in the last grading period.  For First Quarter Sports, this would mean passing grades from 4^th Quarter of this current year [2018-2019] (See Athletic code for a detailed explanation).
 

IMPORTANT DATE FOR FALL SPORTS!  - Tuesday, August 27^th

All 7^th and 8^th Graders who are planning to participate in any athletic activity during First Quarter are strongly encouraged to attend the first meeting/practice of your fall sport before school begins on Tuesday, August 27th from 3:00-4:30.  We will start in the DeLong Auditorium.  A general meeting will be held in the Auditorium and then athletes will be issued some of their equipment, practice, and possibly take the Impact concussion test.

Please mark Tuesday, August 27th on your calendar and be here to meet your coaches and practice!  Parents can pay fees and turn in forms at the meeting before practice!

Most Delong teams will wear the DeLong Athletic T-shirt as their uniform.  If a student has a T-shirt from this year, they may use it again next year.  Anyone who needs a shirt should be prepared to purchase one for $7.00. The DeLong Athletic T-shirt is the same thing as the Phy Ed T-shirt— you can use it for Phy Ed and sports.

We are looking forward to another great year at DeLong; we are excited about our returning 8^th Grade class and anxious to welcome a new group of 7^th graders to DeLong Knights Athletics!  Have a great year!
