Athletics are a vital part of the entire educational process. Athletic programs teach student-athletes values such as sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, respect, and cooperation. It is our hope that these values learned in Alden's Athletic Program stay with our athletes for life. The goal of this athletic web page is to improve communication among all stakeholders of the Alden Athletic Program.

1. The student-athlete’s first contact should be to the coach.
2. If unresolved, the parent/guardian should contact the coach.
3. If concern remains unresolved, the student-athlete or parent/guardian should contact the Athletic Director.

Sports Physicals
All athletes must have a current physical from a NYS health provider dated within one year of the first day of tryouts/practice stating that they are qualified to participate in sports. (i.e. If the first practice is August 19, 2019 then the physical cannot be dated before August 1, 2018.)
Physicals must be sent or brought to the health office at the Middle School (7th and 8th grades) or High School (9th through 12th grades). Parents can also upload an image of the physical form to FamilyID.
Due to HIPPA regulations, schools are unable to contact a health provider to request this information.
Students will not be allowed to try out or participate in practice without a current physical on file. NO EXCEPTIONS.
