All teams will follow a week-by-week progression of guidelines where we will create small groups of cohorts within our teams. We will work to recondition our athletes and increase the length of practices and the amount of skill work each week as we work toward our first competition dates. When competition begins, Prep teams will compete against other schools in our nearby region.

All students participating must submit a sports physical to our school nurse Mary Ellen Lehmann (mlehmann@fairfieldprep.org) before attending any of our tryouts and also must register for their sport here.
