Gilman Athletics

When making admissions decisions, Gilman considers many factors, including but not limited to athletics. We engage in athletic recruiting — just as we seek out students with other special talents — recognizing that we will admit only a limited number of students for whom athletics, or any other special attribute, serves as a distinguishing characteristic. As such, athletics provides only one of several ways to attract a diverse array of talented students.

It is critical that Gilman admit and enroll students and families who are committed to embracing the whole Gilman experience. Gilman should not be used by applicants and their families simply as a means to play a sport; instead, athletics and the consideration they receive in admissions are vehicles for the Gilman experience in its entirety.

The track, oval, and campus paths are not available for general use from 7:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. except for Gilman students and employees.

The tennis courts will be opened from dawn to dusk on non-school days for community use. On school days, use of the courts is restricted to school personnel unless otherwise authorized by School administration.

Those walking dogs through campus are still allowed to do so if the animal is under leash control and provided that dogs do not foul the campus (a health hazard for our students); the campus is still available for general use on weekends and before 7:00 a.m., or after 6:30 until dusk.

Please note that these measures are exclusively designed to enhance the safety and security of our boys.

The Sports Medicine Office, working under the Athletics Department, cares for every student throughout the School but primarily works with Middle and Upper School students. Gilman's athletic trainers work to:

• Prevent injury by implementing education and communication to help students understand how to prevent possible injuries.
• Triage, examine, and diagnose injuries whenever they occur.
• Rehabilitate emergent, acute, or chronic injuries and medical conditions within their scope of athletic training practice whether the injury occurs at/in Gilman athletics or if it happens while the student is in some off-campus athletic-related activity.

The Sports Medicine Office works with families in the event that an injury needs further referral help outside the office's scope of practice to navigate how, when, where and who to go for more help. The office also creates emergency action plans for all of the facilities around campus that incorporate athletics and make sure they are visible to necessary personnel. Finally, athletic trainers work in conjunction with a team physician to make sure their medical models are up to date and in the best interests of the students.

Students or families interested in setting up an appointment with our Sports Medicine Office should email Nick Pitruzzella, Director of Sports Medicine, at npitruzzella@gilman.edu.

Gilman is committed to the wellness of its employees and all faculty and staff have access to the same athletic facilities — including cardiovascular and strength training equipment — and athletic training services as students. Whether helping employees regain their full mobility after a medical procedure or offering helpful advice on preparing for a first marathon, our athletic trainers help keep our faculty and staff feeling our best so they, in turn, can give their best to our students.

Upper School intramural activities are rarely canceled outright unless there is an early dismissal. In the event of inclement weather or fields that are not playable, the following is the procedure followed at Gilman.

All Outdoor Intramural Activities

Students and coaches are to report dressed and ready to participate to the Finney Athletic Center lobby or another designated area by the coaches at 4:00 p.m. At that intramural, coaches make decisions based upon current weather conditions or field conditions as determined by the Athletic Department after consultation with Grounds and Maintenance.

If the weather or field condition prevents regular outside intramural activities from taking place — such as ice, snow, thunder, and/or lightning — then the coaches:

1. Take attendance.
2. Direct their group to run 2-3 scenics in designated indoor spaces.
3. Dismiss boys to be ready for pick-up (usually between 4:30-4:45 p.m.).

All Indoor Intramural Activities

These are usually not affected by the weather or field conditions and proceed as scheduled with adjustments should interscholastic practices be moved inside.

We welcome inquiries about our talented student-athletes. Please contact the athlete's head coach directly. The coaches will provide password information to either signingdaysports.com or hudl.com or any other third-party recruiting site used by their athletes.
