Dear Cambridge-Salem Football Community,
Cambridge and Salem announced today that due to low varsity registration numbers, they will not be fielding a varsity football team this fall. This decision was not made lightly and made in collaboration with both school districts and coaching staff. Currently there are not enough student-athletes registered to safely field a varsity football team for the upcoming season.
For the upcoming season there will be a Cambridge-Salem football team at the JV and modified levels. The JV and modified teams will play full schedules, giving younger players practice and game time, which will allow the districts to rebuild a varsity team and build a stronger program for the future.
Cambridge and Salem will work throughout this school year to rebuild the football program to increase interest and participation at all levels. It is our goal to have a varsity program in the future.
Registration is still open for JV (grades 9-11) and modified levels (grades 7 & 8) in Arbiter (formerly FamilyID):
Student athletes who have expressed interest in these programs will receive information from coaches via ParentSquare leading up to the start of the season on August 17.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the coaches or athletic directors.
Sincerely,
James Ducharme
Superintendent of Schools
