Grant High School Athletics

10/16/20

Hello Grant Families,

Portland Public Schools and the Portland Interscholastic League are excited to announce that we will begin serving students in the Portland area as part of OSAA Season 1. Programming will follow all OSAA, OHA, and PPS guidelines to ensure a safe environment for all students and coaches. This is a voluntary opportunity, and in accordance with the OSAA, teams will not be formed based on a student’s participation during the OSAA Season 1. In an effort to best support students and programming, our first phase of activities will only be held outdoors. Practices will be managed by PPS staff, which includes certified coaches, the athletic trainer, security services, and me (athletic director). Exact days and times for each practice will depend on the program.

Physical activity has been shown to have a strong and positive influence on the social and emotional well-being of students. Students will be allowed to participate in sport-specific pods with no more than 25 students per pod. Each pod will: 

• be led by a certified Grant coach, 
• meet between one and three times a week, 
• lock their roster each week to avoid cross-contact among student groups, 
• be spaced across Grant campus to ensure proper spacing.  

Information about signing up:

• Students may select more than one sport to participate in during Season 1. 
• Students may only participate in one pod per day. Coaches and the student can work together in case of a schedule conflict if a student wants to participate in multiple sports. Not all sports teams will offer practice pods. If you would like to contact a specific coach, contact information can be found here: www.grantathletics.com/page/show/2066693-contact-us
• All students MUST have an up to date physical exam form on the first day they are scheduled to participate. 
• All students MUST be registered in FamilyID. If they want to participate next week, they must be in FamilyID by Monday, October 19 at 8 AM.

• Students and parents will receive an email on Monday, October 19 with the days and times for practices that week, what to bring, and outline the health and safety protocols.
