A Message from the Athletic Director
The Westwood Athletic Department supports a comprehensive menu of athletic activities for both high school and middle school students. All students are encouraged to participate regardless of their level of athletic ability.
The ultimate goal of the athletic program is to strive for excellence, not perfection. We cannot expect our student-athletes to be perfect, but we can ask them to strive to perform to the best of their ability. The true rewards of participation in sports are entirely intrinsic and do not require trophies or accolades in order to be recognized. Participating in athletics provides opportunities for student-athletes to build confidence, engage in leadership activities, become self advocates, and strengthen character.
Sincerely,
Matthew Gillis

Register for spring sports between February 1 and March 1. Click on "Spring Sports" to the left for start dates and other information regarding spring sports.
Athletes must complete two steps to be cleared to participate in sports.
1. Register (click the "Register Now" button below)
2. Physical--According to the MIAA Handbook, "all students must pass a physical examination prior to participation in High School Athletics. A physical exam covers the student for 13 months from the exam date. A student’s eligibility will terminate once a physical has reached the 13 month limit."
Don't get caught off guard ~ make your next physical appointment now! Updated high school physicals may be emailed to physicalexams@westwood.k12.ma.us or brought to the nurse's office.
