Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will my son or daughter have to try-out for the team?
A: Boys and Girls Basketball are the only sports that we have a limited amount of roster spots and therefore do hold tryouts. All other sports are based on the students’ willingness to participate and PASD/PIAA eligibility standards.
Q: Does my child need a physical?
A: A completed PIAA Physical (dated after June 1 of the current year) must be completed by a physician once a year. If your student has played a fall sport, then plays a winter or spring sport, only Section 7 of the CIPPE form must be completed. The Recertification Form only has to be signed by a parent. (So, one full physical, then a recertification for subsequent sport seasons).
Q: What time is practice? What times are the games?
A: Practice and game times vary by sport and facility availability, but the majority of practices are held from 3:15 PM to 4:45 PM. Games typically begin 3:45 PM (8th grade) and 4:45 PM (7th grade). Game schedules are available at www.PhoenixvilleAthletics.com. Click here for the PASD Field Map.
Q: Is transportation home provided after practice?
A: PASDno longer offers a late activity bus.
Q: What should I do if I want my child to come home with me after a game?
A: A Travel Release Form must be completed and handed into the coach prior to the game. The Travel Release Form is available here.
Q: What time does my student need to be in school to be able to participate in athletics (practice and games)?
A: All students must be in school before the end of 2nd period. If a student leaves mid-day for an appointment, they must be back for the final two periods to participate.
Q: How will I know if a game or practice has been cancelled?
A: The complete game schedule is available at www.PhoenixvilleAthletics.com. For day-of cancellations, your student’s coach will communicate the change with you via email. Announcements are also made at PAMS prior to the end of the day for athletic schedule changes.
