Stamford Central School District

Attention Parents of Stamford Student-Athletes,

Beginning this July, and before every sports season moving forward, athlete registration will be done entirely online. There will be no more paper packets sent home or distributed. On July 18th, parents of Varsity Golf and Varsity Soccer student-athletes will be able to create a free account, login to Arbiter Athlete Registration, and complete the digital health form. It is the same form you completed on paper. On August 2nd, the same portal will open for parents of Modified Soccer student-athletes (again, you will create a free account to do so). When each portal opens, you will have two weeks to complete the form before it closes. This will allow Nurse Brie time to login and clear all the athletes that get registered. If you miss the two-week window, you will be locked out and unable to register, so please meet the deadline. It should only take a couple minutes to be filled out completely by you. A link to the portal and directions on how to register will be posted shortly. If you have any questions, please reach out to Coach Brown. Thanks!
