PARENTAL PERMISSION
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Your child (name) ___________________has signed up to play a sport not offered for their gender at Hartford Central School. Since this sport is not offered, they are allowed to participate on the desired team with the opposite gender if they meet the requirements set in the Mixed Competition Guidelines.
In order to establish the appropriate eligibility, we must have your permission to begin the Mixed Competition screening process. This screening evaluates your child’s physiological maturity, athletic performance abilities (physical fitness), and athletic skill in relationship to other student athletes at the specific participation level. The school physician will evaluate your child using the Tanner Scale, to determine his or her physiological maturity. If your child can successfully meet all the requirements of these Guidelines, he/she will then be allowed to participate on that team.
It is
important for you and your child to understand that once the requirements are
met he/she will be given the opportunity to try out for that team; this does
not guarantee placement on that team or at the desired level.
Please feel free to contact me regarding this program or to discuss any aspect of your child’s athletic placement. If you agree to allow your child’s participation in this program, please sign and return the parental permission form to my office.
Sincerely,
Director of Physical Education/Athletics
