I hope everyone is fairing well during this time. Below is information for 8th graders.
As you know Henrico County cancelled all Fall & Winter Middle School Sports. The sports that the cancellation affected were Girls Tennis, Cheer, Girls Basketball, Boys Soccer, Football, Boys Basketball, Gymnastics, and Wrestling. Since these sports where cancelled 8th graders this year may try out for those JV teams at the High School they are Zoned for only. I have listed below the start times of those sports at the High School this year. You will need to get a High School physical to try out (all forms can be found on Freeman or Tucker website under athletics). I have also provided the Student Activities Directors email address if you have any other questions.
Middle School Spring Sports will be assessed once we return in February.

December 7, 2020:
Cheer, Girls Basketball, Boys Basketball, Gymnastics, and Wrestling

ADDED INFORMATION 11/10/20
See the message below regarding winter athletics and requirements. This message is for Douglas Freeman High School students. If your child attends Tucker High School, they should contact Christopher L. Brown (clbrown) clbrown@henrico.k12.va.us directly.
Tucker Athletics will do IMPACT TESTING (concussion pre-testing) when show up for tryouts, please make sure you have all your athletic forms (link below) completed when you show up for tryouts.
A message from:
Suzanne Criswell – Student Activities Director, Douglas Freeman High School:
To participate at DSF in the fall and winter sports there are 2 very important things that must be done.
On the first day of try outs for Field Hockey, Football, Volleyball, Cheerleading, Basketball, Wrestling, Gymnastics (the sports that are not being offered at the Middle School level this year) you must have:
- Completed a Physical Packet (High School Form – 7 pages)
- Completed an “at home virtual ImPact pre-concussion test”.
The links for both are below. This is an HCPS requirement. YOU TAKE IT ONCE, not once for each sport! If this is not done prior to tryouts you will not be able to try out!
The ImPact link captures the students HCPS STUDENT email which is what I must send to ImPact to get a test code for each student. Parents cannot do this for them – each student must complete this test.
After I submit their email, each student will receive directions and a test code enabling them to take the test from support@impacttestonline.com
