To play a sport at the high school level or middle school level in the ConVal district, ALL athletes must take the Initial Impact Concussion Test. This test is not a competition and there is no score, but the test does create a baseline for each athlete’s brain when it is healthy.
Hopefully this will not happen, but if your child does receive a concussion that is verified by your primary care physician while playing a sport for SMS, your child would have to sit out practices and games until your primary care physician clears your child to resume participating. Once the primary care physician clears your child to resume play, your child would have to take the Post-Concussion Impact test. The Post-Concussion Impact Test would then be compared to your child’s Initial Impact Test Baseline, and if it compares well, your child would be allowed to resume play for SMS.
Please have your child take the Initial Impact Test at home as soon as possible.
Below is the link to take the Initial Impact Test. Your child should be in a quiet place that will be undisturbed until completed. Click on the link, then put in the Impact Test Code, then follow the prompts until you get to the “start test.”
Ideally a parent should help your child get through the first part of the test’s demographics. The test asks for name, birthdate, etc., but also questions about add, headaches, dizziness, etc. My experience tells me many student athletes are not sure how to answer these questions. You may also click that you do not want to complete any demographics. After the test is started, your child should be able to handle the test on their own. In the end you Do Not have to do any emailing of results. Just sign out!
All information goes to and is stored in the ConVal Athletic Initial Impact Test data base. You do not have to send me any information.
This test is good for any other sport your child would like to play throughout their year at SMS, and the test is good for two years. If you child did NOT take the test last year, 2021, they HAVE TO take it this year. Thank you,
Tod Silegy SMS Athletic Director

Impact test code: e30340cf98My name is Tod Silegy and I am the athletic director at South Meadow School. I am writing this letter if your son/ daughter is interested in trying out for a 2023 fall sport at South Meadow School. Try out dates for boys white and blue team soccer, girls soccer, girls field hockey, boys and girls cross country, and girls volleyball, will start on Wednesday, August 30th, right after school. All athletes will report to the gym to meet me and their respective coach.
Try out times for all fall sports will run 2:30 to 4:00 and will be at South Meadow School.
All students trying out for teams will be done with practice and off the field, course, court, by 4:05. Students may go home on the late bus, walk home, or be collected by their parents in the Back upper parking lot. Due to safety reasons, all parent pick up is out back to avoid the buses. We request you pick up your child no later than 4:10.
Students in grades six, seven, and eight, are eligible to play field hockey, soccer, and club volleyball. Students in grades fifth, sixth, seventh, and eight are eligible to run cross country for the boys or girls teams.
All students trying out must bring with them a completed parent permission/emergency form. This must be handed to the respective coach on the first day of practice. An updated or current physical form must be sent to our nurse Tricia Harris before tryouts. Updated means that your son or daughter has had a physical within the last two years. For example: If you son/daughter had a physical as a sixth grader he/she would need an updated physical as an eighth grader. Please remember THAT UPDATED PHYSICAL FORM must be sent or emailed to the SMS nurse at: pharris@conval.edu, before the first day of practice. You may download both forms on the SMS Sports website and they are also attached.
Please direct any questions to me at 924-7105 ext. 1268. I will be out of my office until August. You may email me at tsilegy@conval.edu as well.
SMS fax number is: 603-924-2064
Sincerely yours,
Tod Silegy
SMS Athletic Director
P. S.
All students for soccer and field hockey should bring with them to try outs appropriate foot-wear, shin guards, and a mouth piece. Field hockey athletes must also wear PROTECTIVE EYE WEAR and supply their own stick. Cross country athletes must bring appropriate foot-wear and clothing for running. Volleyball athletes should bring sneakers and appropriate clothing. ALL athletes should bring WATER BOTTLES. No one will be allowed to share!
