    Each sport will have specific pod assignments and schedules determined by coaches.

     

    At the middle level, a single pod will include no more than 15 athletes. The plan is for student athletes to remain in their assigned pod for the 7 week season.

     

    Your child will be assigned a specific pod and may not attend other sessions. 

     

    A PIAA physical form is NOT required for these voluntary training sessions. Please fill out the attached emergency ‘card’ form so that coaches can have quick access to important contact and medical information for your child. Coaches will need this form prior to each athlete participating.  Emergency Card Form

    Please email completed emergency forms to adunlevy@dasd.org with "Student Sport Emergency Card" in the Subject Line, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Student athletes can return the form when they report for their scheduled pod meeting.

     

    There is no activity fee associated with the 2020 Fall sports' season.  

     

    We are requiring all student athletes, coaches and parents view the ‘COVID-19: DASD Athletics Required Educational Training’ video prior to beginning their participation in Fall Sports.   This video can be found at this link: COVID-19: DASD Athletics Required Educational Training

    If a student athlete is showing or reporting symptoms while on campus we will be following the Chester County Health Department Guidelines for Schools

     

    We look forward to having your student athlete participate in these sports this Fall!

     

    Sincerely,
