Welcome to Winter Athletics! As our Fall Sports teams transition to post-season play, we're excited to announce the official start of Winter Sports! Please take a few minutes to read through this quick newsletter to know how to get involved with Winter Sports this year! Go Newman! – Monica Mertle, Athletic Director mertle@cardinalnewman.org |
| I'd like to echo Monica's welcome to the Winters Sports Season. For parents new to athletics, we use SportsNet as an online clearinghouse for our athletics. As detailed below, the key information needed to be cleared to play sports at Cardinal Newman will be uploaded to SportsNet. Winter is an exciting time of the year for athletics, with five programs. All of our coaches are ready to work your children to help them develop mental and physical skills that add to their enjoyment of the activity of their choice. – Richard Sanchez, Associate Athletic Director (sanchez@cardinalnewman.org) |

Unable to try out for a Winter Sport because you're still playing a Fall Sport? Please email your coaches (both Fall and Winter) to coordinate your Winter Sport tryout. |
General Information The cost to participate in a Winters Sport is $200. This fee will be automatically assessed through our student billing system. Some sports have additional costs/fees (i.e.-Spirit Packs, travel expenses, equipment, etc.) that will be communicated by the coaching staff. You will find all of the necessary information (tryout times, coaches contact info, etc.) on our Winter Sports Tryout Schedule. This is a live document so coaches will continue to share updates over the next couple of weeks. Please click the "Link to Sign-up for Tryouts" and fill out the Google Form on the Winter Sports Tryout Schedule. Submitting this form in advance allows your coaches to plan and it also allows the Athletics Office to confirm with your coach that you are cleared to tryout. If you show up to tryouts unannounced, you may not be cleared to participate. |
Clearance Reminders Students must be cleared through SportsNet before they can participate in sports in any way. Students who don't meet these clearance deadlines may or may not be cleared in time for tryouts. Please note that the clearance process is not an automatic system. Every student-athlete's profile must be individually reviewed and approved by the Athletic Department in order to get cleared. Visit SportsNet to complete the process. |
| Tryouts October 31 through November 2 – all sports. Check the Winter Sports Tryout Schedule for more details. Clearance Due Prior to Tryouts ImPACT Tests October 26 at 2:45 p.m. in Room 3. Only one ImPACT required per year, so if you played Fall Sports, you don't need to do this again each season. |
Sports Clearance Process As a reminder, the Sports Clearance Process includes: - Completion of all online paperwork (through SportsNet)
- Completion of an online ImPACT Test with our Athletic Trainers
- Completion of a recent physical exam (dated after June 1st, 2022 and signed by an MD or a DO). Documentation of Medical Clearance/Eligibility must be uploaded to SportsNet
For those who need a refresher, here is a detailed overview of the Sports Clearance Process. |
ImPACT Test All CN Sports require an ImPACT Test! - Your ImPACT Test must be taken under the supervision of our Athletic Trainers.
- ImPACT Tests only need to be completed once a year (unless a student suffers a concussion – then subsequent tests are required for return to play).
We are offering ImPACT Tests for ALL SEASONS OF SPORT on the following dates: - Wednesday, October 26th at 2:45 p.m. in Room 3.
Students must bring a fully charged laptop and a signed copy of the Concussion Testing Release Form with them to their test. |
