Students come to you first when they want to start a club — here's what to know before you say yes, so you can set them up for a smooth approval instead of a stalled one.

• A faculty advisor willing to commit to the role (that's you)
• A core group of interested students — a handful of names to start, not the whole roster on day one
• A clear purpose or mission that doesn't significantly overlap with an existing club
• A realistic plan for regular meetings for the rest of the year

• Student(s) submit a New Club application through the Club Hub (button below)
• Student Life reviews it for duplication, feasibility, and advisor sign-off
• Once approved, the club is added to the live Club Directory — searchable, with its own flyer-ready listing
• You're notified and can schedule your first meeting right away

Clubs meant to run the full school year are best submitted early in the fall. A club can still be approved later in the year, but with less time to meet and less certainty it'll return the following September.

Every athlete — middle school or high school — needs a cleared physical on file before tryouts. There are no exceptions. Physicals are valid for 365 days from the date the physician performs the exam.

• Physicals for winter sports are due by 10/1/26 if not already submitted
• Drop off physicals at Old Bridge High School — 4209 Route 516, Matawan, NJ 07747, Door 0
• Sign up for your winter sport through the parent portal, and review all athletic forms
• Parents are responsible for knowing the status of their child's physical — check the parent portal directly
• Athletic Trainers contact students through Microsoft Teams if a physical is expired or a Health History update is needed, 2–3 weeks before the season starts
