🚨8TH GRADE WORKOUTS INFORMATION🚨

Parents & Guardians: We are excited to inform you that our strength and conditioning workouts will begin on Wednesday, November 4th. Currently, we are only working out 8th grade football players at this time until we see how things progress. But there are several things that must happen before athletes can participate:
-1) Athletes must have a current physical dated after May 1, 2020.
-2) The Covid-19 Assumption of Risk Form must be signed by... both the athletes & their parents.
-3) Athletes must arrange their own transportation to and from the Salem High School Fieldhouse. RIDES MUST BE THERE AT 5:15 PM to take athletes home.
Workouts are voluntary. Understand that there are procedures and guidelines that we must follow in order to work out together. Athletes must wear a mask, so athletes must bring them when they come. We must inform you of some logistics. To start we can only have 30 players at any one time. If that ever happens we will have 2 groups with 15 athletes with 1 to 2 coaches per group. We must observe social distancing protocols. Right now the plan is to work out Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 4:00 PM to 5:15 PM. If we need to adjust we will do so.
The physical forms may be downloaded and printed from the VHSL website, VHSL.org. On the first page bottom left under Sports Medicine. We will get those Assumption of Risk forms to the participating athletes before their first workout. If you have trouble printing any one of these forms, you can find copies in the Andrew Lewis Middle School office. If you have a physical please bring a copy of your current physical.
Parents may be present to sign the form but must remain in their vehicle. Workouts will be closed to parents and the public. If you have any questions email Coach Hooker at bhooker@salem.k12.va.us. We look forward to seeing everyone soon.

🚨ATHLETICS UPDATE🚨

Parents and students:

Andrew Lewis offers athletics for 7th and 8th graders through the Roanoke Valley Middle School League (RVMSL). The RVMSL advocates for opening sports in a safe and reasonable way that protects students, parents, coaches, officials, and the public. Following the lead of the Virginia High School League (VHSL), the RVMSL is postponing the fall sports season until further notice. This postponement impacts our football, volleyball, and che...erleading teams.

We (Andrew Lewis and the RVMSL) are exploring several different scenarios to provide condensed sports seasons later in the school year for all of our athletic teams - fall, winter, and spring. A decision on a new middle school athletic calendar will be made later this fall based on input, guidance, and guidelines provided by state and local health departments, government agencies, and school officials.

As community conditions improve and guidance from the local health department allows, opportunities for off season conditioning and skill development may be offered by our coaches this fall. You will be notified of these opportunities through email, the Andrew Lewis website, social media, school announcements, and the Salem Times-Register. For your student to participate in any Andrew Lewis sports related activity they must have a current VHSL physical form on file in the main office (dated after May 1, 2020). The physical form can be found here, on our school website, the VHSL website, or in the main office at ALMS. All activities will be conducted following all recommended health and safety guidelines.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Matt Coe

Assistant Principal / Athletic Director
