A special thank you to Coach Rozy and his leaders, Mitch and Issac, for dedicating their time and expertise to the youth of Scotland this summer. For the past 10 years, Coach Rozy’s program has been a cornerstone of strength and conditioning—building not just athletes, but confident, resilient individuals. “Champions are not born. They are built—by grit, the grind, and conditioned habits.”

1st Semester Schedules are available on campus!

ImPact concussion testing for sports participation Many students have already taken this last April, but if they did not, here is another opportunity to get this completed. Students who will be in grades 7, 9, and 11 this school year (2025-26) and new students to the district who plan on going out for athletics plus all football players (at least 12 years of age) no matter what grade you will be in, must do the ImPact testing. This is a baseline test (takes about 30 minutes) which is used concerning concussion testing. It will be done by Shaina Tycz, PT, DPT at Landmann-Jungman Hospital on August 6, at 8:00 a.m. in the school computer lab next to the library. If this date does not work for you, you can call Shaina at 605-583-6110 to schedule a date. You can contact Jim Kocer at 583-2773 or e-mail at jim.kocer@k12.sd.us if you have any questions.

Sports physicals for 2025-26 by Jim Kocer, AD Students who will be in grades 6-12 this school year who want to compete in middle school or high school athletics must have their physicals taken before practice begins. The student needs to have a physical form on record at the school with an actual physical being done every two years. An interim form (no physical required) must be signed by the parents during the in-between year. Parents can choose to have their child do a physical every year. If you do not know which type is needed for next year, you can contact Jim Kocer at 583-2773, or e-mail him at jim.kocer@k12.sd.us. The forms, set by the SDHSAA, have been updated and the parents should take the time to complete them accurately. The interim form is one sheet and the physical form is on two sheets (the first sheet should be completed before going to the medical provider doing the physical). If you need an interim or physical form, you can print them by going to the www.sdhsaa.com site and go to athletics, then forms under resources, and then click on physicals exam (the forms are on the last three pages). Physicals can be taken at the Scotland Medical Clinic (583-2227). If you choose to go elsewhere for your physical, be sure you have the proper forms with you. Students will not be allowed to practice or compete until the physical forms are in. All of the forms should be turned in to Jim Kocer at Scotland High School.
