Yellow Days

We have added an additional (weather-permitting) Yellow Day practice this week on Wed, Nov 18, but have reduced the slots (max 5) to ensure we stay within the governor’s new COVID guidelines.

Safety guidelines:

Athletes will work out in pods of no more than nine at a time, moving through five stations for ten minutes each.
All athletes must have a VHSL sports physical on file with the Woodson Athletic trainer office. See info below about completing the physical form.
Participants must provide up-to-date Emergency Care Form on their first Yellow Day.
Facemasks must be worn to the stadium for check-in.
Athletes must have no apparent symptoms and register a temperature of less than 100.4 F.
Bring 32 ounces of water (no sharing allowed and no water is provided)
Please sign up here for a pod timeslot.

This timing and capacity is designed to keep students safe as Virginia is seeing a resurgence of COVID-19. After this test run of work-outs, we will determine what is possible for the remainder of the summer and fall.

In addition, if you are interested in learning more or getting some recommendations for summer rowing opportunities, have your student athlete reach out to his/her coach on the team Slack.

Senior Night

If you had a chance to check out the virtual senior night put on by the W.T. Woodson Athletic Boosters in coordination with the teams and coaching staff last week, you know that it was a very special evening. In addition to the official event that night, coaches and team leadership put together a social-distancing-approved car caravan of teammates to give our seniors a sense of our appreciation for their leadership over the years.

Check out pictures from the parade on our photos page and see more pics and video in this Twitter thread.

Physicals

FCPS is requiring athletes to have a VHSL Physical Examination Form completed and on file with the Woodson Athletic Trainer's office no later than 9/8 to participate in Yellow Days and conditioning. Once school reopens, we’ll determine how to get the completed forms to the Woodson Athletic Trainer’s office.

Physicals must be completed and dated by a physician after May 1, 2020 in order to be used for the 2020-2021 school year. Athlete's can submit completed forms via ONE of the following options:

1. Email a copy to our Athletic Trainer, Chris Hogge, at chogge@fcps.edu

2. Mail it to: Woodson High School Attn: Activities Office 9525 Main Street Fairfax, VA 22031

3) Drop it off in the Main Office between 8:00a.m. and 3:00p.m. Monday - Friday
