Welcome Back Bulldogs!
We are excited for the 2024-2025 activity season. Please ensure the following items are completed prior to the first practice next Monday, August 12th:
Sports Physical: All students who are going to participate in a sporting event must have a sports physical dated after May 1, 2024, on file at the school.
ImPACT Concussion Test: Pleasanton Public Schools requires all students participating in sports to complete the ImPACT baseline concussion test. An email with an ImPACT code to complete the baseline test was sent to all 7th-12th grade students, and the email was sent to the student's school email address. If you did not receive a code, please reach out to Mr. Loomis.
NSAA Consent Form: Any student going out for an NSAA activity must have an NSAA consent form filled out and submitted to the front office. The consent form can be found on the school webpage by clicking on the parent forms link.
Once you have completed the ImPACT test, please email Mr. Loomis at cloomis@pleasantonbulldogs.org with your first and last name to let him know. Students who are missing any one of the three requirements will not be permitted to practice until they complete it. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Loomis.
Looking forward to the upcoming activity school year!

Our first official practice will take place on Monday, August 12th, at 6:30 PM. For this practice, players will need to bring their helmets, cleats, shorts, and a T-shirt. It is crucial that everyone intending to participate in football this fall attends conditioning and practice.
Before the first practice, please ensure the following items are completed and turned in to the Pleasanton Front Office:
Medical Physical
NSAA Parent Consent Form
Impact Test (more information on this will be sent out on Monday, August 5th)
Additionally, we will hold a parent meeting on Thursday, August 8th, at 6 PM in the Commons Area at Pleasanton Public Schools. This meeting will provide important information regarding practice times and details about the upcoming season. Your attendance is highly encouraged as we prepare for the season ahead.
I am looking forward to seeing you all and kicking off what promises to be an outstanding season. Together, we will achieve great things both on and off the field.
Best regards,
