Please take a look at the Parent's Code of Conduct below.  Good sportsmanship by our athletes, coaches, and fans will be a big area of emphasis this year!

Spring Sports at HMMS

Hi folks, I hope this message finds you all safe and healthy.  

The Hartford middle school offers four spring sports - Baseball, Softball, Track and Tennis.  Signups are ongoing...it is not too late, but the sooner the better...we need to know as early as possible the number of teams we need to plan for.

You are reminded that middle school athletes must have health insurance and must also have a current Well Exam on file with the school.  The Well Exam needs to be recorded on the approved HSD Well Exam form which can be printed out from the school website.  Baseline concussion testing is not required for middle school athletes.

Also, PLEASE use the same Hartford HS/MS account you have used previously to sign your student up for sports (not the one that is managed by the Hartford Rec Dept!)...you should not create a new account each year.

Just a heads up...we will be changing the registration system for sports beginning with the upcoming Fall sports season.  More to follow, but be prepared to shift gears when you register for your fall sport at both the middle school and the high school.

Please contact Joe James if you have any questions about any of the sports we offer or if you have any  difficulty registering.

Take care, and STAY WELL!  
___________

Just a reminder that each athlete must have a Well Exam within the last year.  You can print out the form by selecting the Well Exam link on this page.  You should either scan and upload the form on your registration page, or you can send us a hard copy and we will update it.  When you go for your appointment, please take a copy of the HSD form...it can be printed out from the Athletics webpage.

 

Parent Code of Conduct 

1. Will refrain from coaching their child or other players during games and practices.

2. Will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never question, discuss or confront coaches at the game field, and will take time to speak to coaches at an agreed upon time and place.

3. Will remember that student athletes participate to have fun and that the game is for youth, not adults.

 
4. Will help teach their child that doing one's best is more important than winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or his or her performance.
 
5. Will demand that their child treat other players, coaches, officials, and spectators with respect.
 
6. Will promote the emotional and physical well being of the student athletes ahead of any personal desire I may have for my own child to win.
 
7. Will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well being of the student athletes.
 
8. Will be a positive role model for their child and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all players' coaches, officials, and spectators at every game, practice or sporting event.
 
9. Will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent such as booing and taunting; refusing to shake hands; or using profane language or gestures.
