Important: New policy for participation in sports

Starting with the upcoming Winter Sports season, our Chittenden Program will implement a new policy for participating in sports. We will require both pre-registration and a current medical in order to begin practice. 

This will allow us to have a complete set of current medicals available to coaches at the first practice. Pre-registration may be done by phone or email. At this point, you may pre-register with Dave Bogdan, dbogdan@ieee.org 802-598-9571. 

Our program will make every effort to warn athletes of expiring medicals but it is your responsibility to keep your medical current. Medicals are valid for 3 years from the date of the doctors exam or earlier with significant change in health or significant injuries. 

Blank medicals may be downloaded from the SOVT website here:

We appreciate everyone's understanding and cooperation as we implement this new policy. 

Thanks, Dave
