Aloha Parents and Student Athletes,
We look forward to seeing you all at our virtual Athletics banquet next Tuesday, May 18th!
Jana Fraser, Athletic Director
Athletic Awards Ceremony-Save the Date The Athletics banquet will be held virtually on May 18th at 6pm. This is for all participants and their families from season 1 and 2 sports. We will also include a senior recognition for all sports, even if there wasn't a regular season during the school year. Packet pick up will be after this event on Wednesday and Thursday during lunch and after school in both the middle school courtyard and high school parking lot.

Pac 5 Update
Please find updated PAC-5 football spring workout information in the PAC-5 Football Flyer. If you are interested in participating, please make sure you have an updated sports participation form and have taken the concussion test with our Athletic Trainer, Mr. Justin Drain.
Varsity Tennis Update Congratulations to our Varsity tennis players for competing in the ILH Clay Benham post season tournament at Punahou and Iolani from May 8th-11th. Our boys tennis doubles team with senior Miles Brown and brother Koa made it to the second round of play, beating Maryknoll in a tightly contested match in the first round of play.
Uniforms If you have any uniforms left over from your sport season please be sure to return them to the Athletics office before summer. Thank you
Athletics Survey As Season 2 sports are ending, I want to remind everyone to be watchful for the Athletics survey releasing via email. This is the best way for student-athletes to have a voice and give us feedback on the season. Information gathered in these surveys is relayed from the Athletic Director to the coach, during the post season meetings which occur at the conclusion of every season. Please keep an eye out for this anonymous survey releasing during mid-May.
Participation Form New Due Date The Athletic participation form is an annual form that needs to be completed by a physician in order to practice or compete in ILH sports. The LJA Athletic Department is moving away from accepting these forms all year long, to a summer due date similar to when other school health forms are uploaded into the Magnus Health system. This is partially due to a mandate by the ILH office of a 4 day waiting period for athletes whose forms expire or are turned in late during the season. Observing this policy has been problematic in the past, and resulted in some athletes having to miss competitions. Please have your completed Sports Participation form (which can be downloaded at Sports Participation Form '21-'22) completed by the first day of school, or for fall athletes prior to the first day of practice. If you find yourself in the position where a second sports physical is needed, here are a few options with associated charges that may be less costly than going through your Primary Care Physician.
CVS Minute Clinic $69 (Longs Drugs stores) Urgent Care Hawaii $50 (660 Kailua Rd.) Windward Urgent Care/Premier Medical Group Hawaii $50 (Castle Adventist Health – Kaneohe Office building) Braun Urgent Care $85 (130 Kailua Rd., Kailua Beach Center)
Sports Trivia Did you know that if a pitched baseball is lodged into the umpire's mask, all runners advance one base?
