The Barrington High School fall sports season is just a few weeks away. 

The football team will begin practicing on Monday, Aug. 13, while boys and girls cross country, cheerleading, field hockey, boys and girls soccer teams, girls tennis and girls volleyball will all begin on Monday, Aug. 20.

But before any of the teams start, student-athletes must have their physicals. The school is offering free sports physicals to boys and girls on Wednesday, Aug. 8 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the high school.

Student-athletes and their parents must fill out a series of forms, ranging from the Rhode Island Interscholastic League risk form to the school insurance information form. All the forms and the Barrington High School student athlete handbook can be found online at www.barringtonhigh.org (click on athletics). The forms can also be picked up at the high school office, Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Completed forms must be returned to head coaches at the team meeting or on the first day of practice — no student can participate without completing all paperwork first.

The fall sports teams will also hold meetings prior to the start of the season. Following is a schedule for the fall sports meetings:

• Football: Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 5:30 p.m.

• Boys soccer: Sunday, Aug. 19 at noon.

• Boys cross country: Monday, Aug. 20 at 7 a.m.
