NBHS Winter Athletics Starting Soon

With snow and cold weather heralding that Winter is setting in, the start of NBHS Winter sports is just around the corner.

While the school system’s FamilyID website says that the deadline for 2018-2019 NBHS winter athletics is December 13th, the site also says that sports programs actually begin on November 29th.

Girls and boys basketball, indoor track and field and wrestling have seasons posted from November 29th to March 17, 2019. The girls basketball program is noted as having try-outs November 27th, 28th and 29th.

The Consolidated School District of New Britain says that, “All student-athletes that are interested in participating in winter sports must register online (no more handing out and collecting emergency information sheets). If the registration process is not completed, your child will not be able to practice or participate in any form of athletic activity.”

The school district says that sports registrations are to be done through the New Britain FamilyID page, which is available at familyid.com/new-britain-athletics.

To register for sports on the FamilyID website, the school system says, 

• Under the “Programs” title, click on the link for the program you want to sign up for. Scroll to bottom of page to either sign up as a family or individual if this is your first time using FamilyID, or log in if you already have a Family ID account.
• Sign Up for your secure FamilyID account by entering your family name, email address and password. You will receive an email with a link to confirm your new account. (If you don’t see the email, check your spam or junk folders).
• Click on the link in your email confirmation, which will log you in to FamilyID and then complete the information requested on the registration form. When you have completed the form, click the “Save & Continue” button.
• Review your registration summary and click “Confirm Registration” to submit. Once completed, you will receive an email receipt from [email protected]. You can also view your completed registration on your Dashboard. You can log into https://www.familyid.com at any time to update your information and to check your registration(s).
• The nurse will then review the physical from the doctor and approve your registration.

The school system says that registration for athletic programs requires a physical exam that must be, “current within the past 13 months and signed by a physician and must be in effect for the entire length of the sports season.”
