Winter Athletics Registration Now Open (Due Nov. 16)
Dear Caregivers of Lincoln School Grades 5-8 Students,
I am writing to inform you about our winter after-school athletic opportunities for your child(ren). The Lincoln School Athletic program is offering boys and girls basketball. The winter season runs from November 30, 2026 through February 5, 2027. There are no athletic games or practices during weekends. All practices will be held after school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 3:00 pm to 4:20 pm and Friday from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
In the Lincoln Middle School Dining Commons and the Middle School gym lobby, there will be a sign up sheet for athletes to sign up for boys and girls basketball and necessary paperwork provided starting November 2 -November 13. All paperwork must be turned in by Monday November 16, 2026.
Tryouts (Grades 6-8)
Boys and Girls Basketball:: Tue, Dec.. 1, 3:00-4:20; Thur, Dec. 3, 3:00-4:20; Fri, Dec. 4, 3:00-4:00.
All student-athletes must bring their own water bottle and sneakers
Teams will be identified on Dec. 4 and the first practices will begin Dec. 7. First games for boys and girls are scheduled for Dec. 15.
Kindly note that coming to tryouts and participating does not guarantee your child to a spot on the team that they sign up for. Regrettably, team sizes are limited to support safety and the supervision required for the season.
For a fee of $175.00, your child will be eligible to participate in an interscholastic sport. Please make checks or money orders payable to the Town of Lincoln. All sports fees will be turned into the main office. Sports fees must be paid prior to the first game in a season to declare a student eligible for participation in any after-school sports offering.
Under Massachusetts’s regulations for Physical Examinations of school children, no child may participate without the results of a physical exam on file in the school nurse’s office and updated medication with doctor’s orders if applicable. All students must have had a physical within 13 months prior to the start of a season (October, 2025 or later) to participate in the Lincoln School Athletic program.
In order to try out and participate in after school athletics, each student must have the following on file before tryouts begin; all are included in this Link and will be available in hard copy form in school for students to pick up.
A signed Lincoln Sports Registration form.
The results of a physical exam on file in the school nurse’s office (October 2025 or later)
A signed Extracurricular Activities Medical Questionnaire.
4. A Parent and Student Head Injury Training Affidavit signed by a parent/guardian and student.
Any student athlete intending to try out who is missing any of these requirements will be notified once by the athletic director. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at amclaughlin@lincnet.org.
Sincerely,
Alana McLaughlin
