Re: IESA Sectional Meet
Parents,
We have been notified by the IESA that the Sectional meet will be held on May 12, 2012. The location information is as follows:
Hersey High Scool
1900 Thomas Street (A.K.A. Willow Road)
Arlington Heights, IL 60070
The meet is schedule to start at 9:00am on Saturday, May 12, 2012, however, there is a potential for substantial delay in the start time if the high school conference meet has to use the facility first, for a make-up date, should the high school meet that is scheduled to take place on Friday, May 11, 2012 be cancelled.
If the high school meet has to use the facility first on May 12th, the meet will not start before 4:00pm. A 4:00pm start would mean that the meet will run late into the night, likely until approximately 10:00pm, possibly later.
We will be providing informational details to the athletes that will be participating in the sectional meet. At this point, here is what we would like to know from the parents; If the meet on May 12th does start at 4:00pm, will your child be able to participate? Please respond on this as soon as possible. We understand that the late start can cause some difficulties. We are asking so that we know who will be available. Please send your response with your child to practice and have he/she give the response to a coach
Regards,
The AJHS Coaching staff

We are pleased to announce upgrades to this site! Two new site areas have been added. "Activity Updates and News" and "Athletic Health Information". There are now two more areas to help us keep you "In the Know".
In July of 2011, Illnois passed new legislation concerning the topic of concussions. A part of this legislation includes a provision for the distribution of informational materials. Starting with the Fall 2011 sports, athletes on AJHS sports teams will be receiving this information, which is to go home to parents/guardians. Included with the information will be a form that requires the signature, and return to a coach, of the form. The purpose of the signed form is to confirm that the information did get to the parents/guardians. THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND RETUNED OR THE STUDENT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE. If you have any questions on this, please contact a Coach or the Athletic Director.
The sports schedules for 2011-2012 are posted in the schedules,directions and information area of this site. If there are any future changes, updates will be made as soon as possible.
Check out the upgrades to the schedules and directions area! This area now includes our Athletics Handbook and also a complete listing of all of our co-curricular activities, including the specifics of sports activities, in our Co-Curricular Handbook, also in that area.
Important: Please remember that sports physicals are required PRIOR TO PARTICIPATION IN A SPORT, INCLUDING THE TRYOUTS. The information shown in our books reflects "in season" time frames. If you have questions please contact a Coach or the Athletic Director.
Also..... postings are placed on the athletics board as well as the individual areas of this site.
PLEASE CHECK WITH THE SCHOOL NURSE ABOUT THE STATUS OF SPORTS PHYSICALS FOR THOSE OF YOU, WHO HAVE HAD PHYSICALS FOR SPORTS, AND ARE PLANNING ON BEING INVOLVED IN OUR UPCOMING SPORTS. A CURRENT SPORTS PHYSICAL IS REQUIRED TO BE ON FILE WITH THE SCHOOL NURSE BEFORE ANY PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS. THIS INCLUDES ANY TRY-OUT PERIODS!
