2024 Hewlett High School and Woodmere Middle School Spring Sports Information:

In order for our teams to properly prepare, it is expected that all student athletes are registered, approved and in attendance on the first day of tryouts/practices and throughout the season, including holiday and recess periods.

Please read the following information carefully: 

1. All families are asked to create an account, register their child, and desired sport on Family ID. Family ID can be accessed HERE:

2. Hewlett High School Spring Sports start on March 11, 2024 with the exception of golf and boys tennis which start on March 18, 2024.   Registration will open on February 19, 2024 and close on March 4, 2024  while tennis and golf will close on March 11, 2024.

5. It is imperative that any student interested in playing a sport register, upload documents and complete Family ID by the closing date. Students who fail to register by the deadline MAY BE denied participation, run the risk of not meeting the NYSPHSAA practice requirements, and the HWPS approval process to meet participation eligibility criteria.

6. Please note that registration DOES NOT indicate your child has been approved. Families can view their approval status by doing the following:

• Log in to your Family ID account.
• On the blue bar at the top of the page, click Registrations.
• Next to your registration, click Summary.
• If an approval status has been added to the program, it will appear at the very bottom of the summary.

7. If your child has not been approved, an email will be delivered through Family ID to the primary email created on the account. Please do not call the nurse’s office- please make sure your email address is correct.

8. When registering on Family ID, all information must be completed and acknowledged by the parent and athlete, including a health history and COVID-19 history AND Cardiac History review. Any registration issues please call the athletic office.

9. All Sports Physicals must be completed, dated, signed, and stamped by your doctor on the official New York State Physical Form, which should be dated within one year from the starting date of the desired sport. All physical examinations for school are to be documented on the NYS Required Health Examination Form. No other physical examination form will be accepted. Physical forms must be filled in completely and cannot be filled in with “see attached.” Only immunization records may be attached to physical forms.  The examination form needs to indicate that the student can participate in all activities without restriction.  The examination for interscholastic athletics is valid for qualifying a student's participation for a period of 12 continuous months- through the last day of the month in which the exam was conducted; and through the entire sports season, even if the exam’s expiration is before the season is complete. All forms need to be uploaded on Family ID.  (Please see sample below).

No paper forms will be accepted. All forms MUST be uploaded by families through Family ID.
