JFK Athletics—Welcome to your first experience with interscholastic sports!
Welcome to JFK Middle School! We have several competitive sports that run throughout the year. They are as follows:
Fall sports—Girls Field Hockey, Girls Soccer, Boys Soccer, Girls and Boys Cross Country
Winter Sports—Girls Basketball and Boys Basketball
Spring Sports—Girls Softball, Boys Baseball, Girls and Boys Track and Field
A very important website for you to become familiar with is https://enfieldathletics.com/sports/ Go all the way to the right and find the JFK MIDDLE SCHOOL tab in red with all our programs. Click on the sport you are interested in to find out information pertaining to that program.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you come to tryouts prepared. For soccer, basketball, softball, and baseball, you need to have that sport’s specific skill sets ready to go. For field hockey, you will need to be ready to learn what that sport has to offer. For cross country and track and field, make sure you have been running at least two months ahead of time. Coming to tryouts conditioned gives you the endurance and confidence you need to succeed.
All perspective athletes need to have an up-to-date physical on file with our school nurses. This is required to try out. Parents/guardians need to follow up to ensure the physical is at school. It is better to hand in the paperwork than to rely on a fax that may or may not come on time. Perspective athletes who have an inhaler and/or Epi Pen must have a self-administer order on file with our school nurses. These medications need to be always carried on their person when participating in sports. Please invest in a durable waist pack for them.
To register for a specific sport at JFK, you need to visit https://enfieldathletics.com/register-for-athletics/ The registration portal we use is called Final Forms. There are electronic forms for student and parent/guardian to complete. Your child’s physical must be current. The nurses will enter the updated physicals onto Final Forms. Coaches will see green icons for completed tasks and red icons for incomplete tasks. The $ icon will not turn green until your participation fee is paid once your child makes a team. Make sure you register for a JFK sport and not and Enfield High sport! The directions will be on this page. Just click on the Final Forms link to get started! If you need help, this link will explain how to register:
