Athletic Information for Fall Sports Cross Country and Golf
Updated Extracurricular Training Information
Dear Pickerington Community,
On Thursday, May 21, the Ohio Department of Health, the OHSAA, and Governor DeWine’s office authorized the beginning of individual skills training for all extracurricular activities. The order allows school facilities to be open specifically and exclusively for extracurricular purposes. Our facilities will reopen as follows:
- Monday, June 8: High school fall athletic programs and band
- Monday, June 22: High school winter and spring athletic programs and junior high activities
Pickerington Local School District facilities will reopen for our students and staff only. Our facilities at the high school and junior high’s will remain closed to the public at this time.
The Athletic Department and Performing Arts Departments of Pickerington Local School District have collaborated to develop a plan using guidance from the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio High School Athletic Association and the National Federation of High School Sports.
While we are all excited to bring our students, coaches and directors back together, we want to do so in the safest manner possible to ensure the well-being of all involved.
Pickerington Local School District has established general guidelines as well as guidelines for parents, coaches/band directors, athletic trainers, and the weight room. Pickerington Local School District cannot stress enough the importance of ALL families, students, coaches, and directors reviewing these documents as our extracurricular practices have changed in response to COVID-19. Please carefully read the guideline attachments to this article below. This may be our only opportunity to reopen our facilities and bring our students back. We must get this right. It will take all of us following the guidelines to ensure the safety of our students, families, staff and community. As parents of our students, you play a major role in our reopening, if not the most important role. Your evaluation of your child’s health every day is critical as our goal continues to maintain the safety of your son/daughter, your family, our students, staff and the entire community. Do not hesitate to reach out to your coaches, athletic director, musical directors or the Director of Student Activities with any questions or concerns you may have. Adherence to the guidelines are mandatory.
For those families that do not have access to the Internet, you can pick up the form — which needs to be filled out daily with your son/daughter’s temperature and health condition(s) — from their coach, the athletic trainers or the Athletic Office.
This continues to be a fluid situation. As information and guidelines from the Governor, Ohio Department of Health, the OHSAA and the National Federation of High School Sports change, we will continue to review our situation. The slogan, “We are Pickerington” has never been more appropriate. We will get through this together.
Please review the following guidelines. You will be required to turn in a signed waiver prior to training at/on PLSD facilities/premises.
