Student Athletes, Parents and Guardians,

On Friday the CIAC sent out guidelines for fall athletics.  You can view the guidelines by clicking here.  As you read the guidelines, you will see that the season will look different than normal because we will start later, and end earlier, than usual.  We will not play as many games as we have in the past and all games will be against teams in our region with both SWC schools and non-SWC schools.  We will continue to follow the guidelines set by Governor Lamont, the State Department of Health, the State Department of Education and the Brookfield Health Department.  Superintendent Barile, BHS Principal Balanda, WMS Principal Renda and I will be working with our Facilities Director to ensure that our facilities will be cleaned and sanitized between games and practices.  I know that many of you have questions. Please feel free to email me and I will keep posting updates on our website brookfieldathletics.com.  Please make sure that you fill out all forms and sign up for the sport that you wish to play in the digital locker in PowerSchool.  Please make sure that your sports physical is up to date.  Finally it is important to emphasize that like everything else during this pandemic, these current plans may change at any time.  

Thank you,

Steve Baldwin

Director of Athletics, Physical Education and Health

Athletes, Parents and Guardians,  

I wanted to give you a few updates.

• Physicals

1. Athletic Physicals will now be good for athletes for 15 months.  So if an athlete got his or her physical on July 6, 2019 that physical will be good until December 6, 2020.  If you sign in to powerschool you can see the date that your child got a sports physical.  
2. You can drop your child's sports physical off at the high school Monday - Friday 9am-2pm.  The Nurse will be in on Monday and Wednesday afternoon to process them.  The Athlete is not cleared until processed by the nurse.  If you drop off a physical on Thursday or Friday they will not be cleared until Monday afternoon.   

• Summer Conditioning

1. The CIAC has changed its stance on summer conditioning. It has gone back to normal conditioning for the fall and winter sports.  They can do traditional summer conditioning with no skills work.  They can do strength and conditioning speed training and cardiovascular training.  I have posted the update on our Brookfieldathletics.com please visit to read.  

• Summer Permission Slips

1. I have posted the permission slip on the website.  I have heard that some people were having issues downloading it. Please click here  https://www.brookfieldathletics.com/page/show/5831381-summer-conditioning-forms  to download it.    

• Water and Hand Sanitizer

1. I know in all my earlier communications I have communicated that all Athletes need to bring their own water to conditioning.  As of right now the district has not provided us with hand sanitizer.  Please have your child bring their own hand sanitizer until we are provided with hand sanitizer for them.

Within these core values we also are committed to the values of kindness, equality and compassion.

We must all do our part to end the systemic racism that prevails in this country. We understand that we have a responsibility to work together to enact change. We recognize that this is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. How we respond will determine how quickly we can begin to heal and unite.
