Athletics

Athletic Director:  Josh Daniels

Brookville Middle School Athletics Mission:

To use sports as a vehicle for continued education. To teach our student athletes our core values of respect, attitude, accountability, effort, and the importance of teamwork and leadership, as well as how to overcome adversity in a positive way that transfers to real life scenarios. 


*** REMINDER- STUDENTS MUST BE ACADEMICALLY ELIGIBLE IN ORDER TO TRY OUT FOR ATHLETICS


Get your physical now to avoid delays and issues trying out and PLEASE make sure it's entirely filled out.


Important note on updated procedures to tryout for school sports:

-As of the 2023-2024 school year, signup sheets will be sent out via student emails.  Students interested in trying out for a school sport will need to indicate their interest by filling out the signup sheet in way of a Google Form.  Responses will be sent to the Athletic Director who will then clear students to see if they are eligible to tryout.

-To be eligible to tryout, Students need to have a VHSL sports physical on file in the Athletic Directors office, need to have a valid result on the concussion baseline test, and must be academically eligible.

-If the Google Form signup sheet isn't filled out, then a student can't be cleared to tryout for sports and will automatically be ineligible for tryouts.

-Once the day of tryouts arrive, the coach will receive a list of eligible students who are allowed to be at tryouts.  Anyone not on that list will be sent home and not offered a tryout as they either have not filled out the Google Form to be cleared, or they were deemed ineligible in way of not meeting criteria.


Important Note about physicals:

-The VHSL physical is good for 13 months... from May 1 of current year through June 30 of following year

-If you get a physical at this point (3/15/24) for open gyms taking place in the spring and summer (meaning you don't currently have one on file for this school year), that physical will run out June 30, 2024 and you will need to get a new one for the 24-25 school/sports year.

-If you have a physical currently on file for this school year, you are covered until June 30th when it runs out.  Getting a physical after May 1, 2024 will cover you for the entire school/sports season for the 2024-2025 school year.

-This is always an issue as most insurances only cover one physical in a calendar year, so to avoid having to pay additional costs when insurance won't cover, plan your physicals accordingly.


-There are several walk in clinics that will do physicals for a flat cost as they don't file through insurance for that reason.

-If you have any questions in regards to your child's physical, don't hesitate to contact the school's Athletic Director.


Those interested in BMS athletics:   VHSL has updated their physical form.  Old forms will not be accepted.  New forms can be downloaded here 


Parents-

Please look over sports physical forms and fill them out entirely.
All signature lines need to be signed, Doctor must sign page 3, and Page 4 is most often overlooked and left blank.  

The insurance information on Page 4 is important should something happen to your child in a sporting event and you're not there at the game, Please don't leave that blank.

We do not need school entrance forms or immunization records for athletics.  The newest form from VHSL is the only accepted physical form we can use.  If it's not on that form, it will not and can not be accepted.

Forms can be found here

If you have any questions, please reach out to Josh Daniels, the BMS Athletic Director.
