When a student wants to participate in a sport they need to do the following:

1. Pick up an athletic clearance packet from the Athletic Office. This packet includes the athlete's registration folder, physical examination form, authorization for emergency medical care, transportation permit and the Code of Ethics.

2. Complete the athletic clearance making sure that the parent and student athlete have signed in all of the appropriate places.

3. Go to the family physician or the Sport Clinic (contact information listed below) to obtain a physical. The physician conducting the exam must complete, sign and date the physical examination form. Athletic physicals are good for one calendar year.

4. Return the completed athletic clearance packet to the Athletic Office as least two weeks prior to the start of tryouts for their particular sport. The packet can only be returned to the Athletic Office. Do not try to turn it into the coach or other office staff. It will not be accepted.

5. Meet the eligibility requirements.  Please refer to the section covering this topic.

6.  A student may not participate in tryouts or practice until he/she has been cleared by the Athletic Director. A student cannot be cleared by the Athletic Director until their completed packet is received in the Athletic Office.
