Old Turnpike School offers a wide array
of activities to the student body at
large. In the area of athletics, ten
sports are represented. These include
interscholastic cross-country; soccer;
field hockey; cheerleading; basketball;
baseball; softball; and track
and field. In addition, a ski-club
membership is available to our fifth
through eighth grade student population.
Before each season
the student body attends an
assembly that introduces the season’s sports
and coaches. Each student
is then able to collect a permission
form for the sport of his or her choice,
which must be returned to the
appropriate coach for the chosen sport. At
that time, it is the responsibility of
the parent to make sure that their son
or daughter has a current physical exam.
Our rule is that the physical must be
dated on or after the July 1st prior to
each school year. Sports physicals are
also offered to students in the nurse’s
office at OTS before each season.
The district will
supply transportation to and from away events. Only when the parent signs
out the player may they take their child
with them at the conclusion of the
event. In all other cases the student
must return to the school on the bus and
then be picked up by a parent. Coaches
will provide parents with directions to
away games.
Because of the
variables involved, each sport may be run
differently. The
availability of coaches and competitions
along with the number of participating
students are some variables. Some
sports have a maximum limit of team
members and others do not. Many of the
sports at OTS include a “B” team if
there are other “B” teams to compete
against. Some sports involve a try-out
and cutting process while others do not.
Each coach will provide to every
team member a practice and game schedule
complete with pick up times.
Following
is a list of sports offered at OTS
and grade requirements for each. Any
questions about a specific sport should
be directed toward the head Coach.
Please feel free to contact the Athletic
Director at any
time with general questions or concerns.
