b. Email Coach Frey (Jason.frey@browardschools.com)

4. What kind of training does each team do before the season?
a. Each team is different in their preseason routines. We like each sport to have at least a 1 week conditioning prior to their season starting. At this time all paperwork must be turned in.
b. Students without the proper forms will not be permitted to condition or tryout for the team.

5. Can I play two sports at the same time?
In most cases, I would say it is not going to work but it has in certain circumstances. The sports that it seems to work with are non team sports. Accommodations can be made but it is up to the coaches discretion.

6. What time are practices?
a. Generally the practice times for the majority of our sports programs occur after school. The end time varies based on the sport, coach, and available venue to practice.
b. Most sports practice from about 4-6 pm. Basketball is different with 4 teams sharing a gym.

7. How do I get home from practice?
a. Parents can pick you up or you can ride the city bus. We do not provide a school bus to your house after practice or games. It is the responsibility of each player to make sure that they have a ride home after events. Coaches are required to stay until the last athlete is picked up, so please make sure that you have the available transportation.
b. The activity bus picks up @ 4:45 and will drop off the students at their closest elementary school. This is not an option for many of the players on the teams at PBHS as practice is just getting going. Each coach and sport is a little different with their allowance of athletes to leave early.

8. I play club and have club practice during my season is that a problem?
a. We love that many of our students have a love and desire to take their games to the next level. However, it is very important that the coaches are able to develop a team atmosphere and able to work on things that will enable the team at PBHS to compete at the highest level.
b. We feel that is necessary to be at practice on a regular basis in order to make it work and be fair to all participating. Some club season’s overlap with the high school season and though we do not want athletes to give up the level of competition of the their club sports for high school sports. We do expect that athletes will attend out practices on a regular basis or face dismissal from the team and or
lack of playing time

9. How much do sports cost at PBHS?
a. The ability to play sports is a right of all students in Broward County Public Schools. The Athletic Department and separate teams will be doing fundraisers during the school year in order to better serve our athletes. Although it is not required to participate in said fundraisers, we appreciate everyone’s help and support.

10. What schools do we play?
a. Each sport is a little different as far as who is in your district (league). The majority of our districts include Dillard, American Heritage, and Hallandale. You can check your particular sport on FHSAA.org for specifics.
