ONLINE ATHLETIC REGISTRATION (Opens June 5th 2025)
- Online athletic registration is mandatory and all athletes must be cleared online by the Athletic Director or Athletic Trainer before they can practice with their team.
- As part of the online registration process, athletes must submit a signed Physical Evaluation form. Without the Physical form, your registration is incomplete and you will not be cleared to practice with your team starting August 9th (August 5th for Football).
- You can download a copy of the Physician form Here
- The online registration process takes about 20 minutes. Have your student’s personal information, health insurance information, and your physical from signed by a physician, ready to upload when you register.
- If you do not have your Physical form ready when you start your registration, do not create a new account when you go back to upload your form (See #5 below).
- After you complete your online registration, it is normal for the summary screen to show all the information as complete and the online clearance as ‘uncleared.’ Only the Athletic Director or Athletic Trainer can clear athletes.
- Once you have completed your online registration and uploaded a completed physical form, your account will be cleared online by the Athletic Director or Athletic Trainer. It may take several days to receive the confirmation email that your student has been cleared.
