Concussion crisis growing in girls’ soccer

I was particularly intrigued with this segment on Rock Center the other night.  It finally makes sense to me why we see a number of concussions year in year out with our athletes....weak NECK muscles!  I encourage you to read, watch this segment.....and encourage all of our Silver Lake Athletes to incorporate neck strengthening exercises into your everyday workouts.

Bona Fide Team rule and other important MIAA Rules

A reminder that during a high school season, student-athletes are not allowed to miss a high school practice or game to play another MIAA sport.  This MIAA rule is called the Bona Fide Team Member rule.  For more information on rules visit the MIAA website at www.miaa.net.

Another very useful document is the frequently asked questions document developed by the MIAA.  Click here to go to that document.

Winter sports off to a good start

Upwards of 375 student-athletes are trying out and/or participating in the winter sports program.  Most of the programs offered do not have tryouts and those that do will be naming teams shortly.  A reminder that the sports of indoor track, wrestling, and swimming will accept athletes into the program that may not make the basketball or hockey teams.  All athletes are encouraged to speak directly to the coaching staff about cuts and if parents have questions they can access coaches' emails on this page.  Calls made directly to the athletic director will be forwarded to the respective coach as it is appropriate for that direct communication to occur.

If we can be of assistance in the transition from one sport to another, please call the athletic office at (781) -585-3844 extension 3.
