Be Eligible on the First Day: 
Burr and Burton requires all First Years, Juniors and new students to have an updated Well Exam on file with the BBA Health Office. For the Winter Sports Season, Well Exams must have been completed after March 8th, 2024. Completed Well Exams can be emailed to ktowslee@burrburton.org or mailed/dropped off at the office. No athlete will be allowed to participate without one, so please plan ahead.

All of the other necessary forms needed to participate in athletics can be completed through your MyBBA account. These forms and the Well Exam must be submitted before Friday, November 14th. Completing them sooner rather than later is greatly appreciated from the administrative end. If you are having difficulty with the forms, please reach out to your coach. You can check the date of the most recent Well Exam in the contact card of the student in MyBBA.  

Returning Burr & Burton students must be in attendance at the first day of tryouts and all juniors must attend the varsity tryouts.
