In order for your cadet to participate in any NJROTC or varsity sport in the state of Virginia, your cadet must have a CURRENT annual sports physical from a qualified medical practitioner - NO EXCEPTIONS! This is a safety issue for your cadet given we do rigorous exercises and physical training that can be very challenging to the body. Occasionally, there seems to be some confusion about this process that this page will clarify:
(1) The physical examination shall be required before any student is accepted as a squad member or is permitted to engage in tryouts or practice. Any person licensed to practice medicine or osteopathy may conduct the physical examination and may sign the form, as can a licensed nurse practitioner or a physician assistant under the regulations of the state Boards of Medicine and Nursing and under the supervision and direction of a licensed physician.
(2) Students taking part in athletic contests should be in fit physical condition. This condition can be attained only through properly conducted and systematic training procedures. It is recommended that coaches and physical education directors insist upon strict observance of the accepted rules of training as a requisite for squad membership.
(3) Students who have been examined once during the period of May 1 of the current year through June 30 of the succeeding year (14 months) do not have to be examined again during that period unless they have had a serious injury or a serious illness. In case of a serious illness or serious injury, the medical doctor or doctor of osteopathy treating the student may specify in his/her release of the patient that the student is approved for athletic participation for the remainder of the school year.
The student code of conduct and parent/guardian consent form outlines the standards/expectations for both instructors and cadets. This form also will be sent home during the first week of instruction. Please fill out and return as soon as possible.
The cadet personal data entry form is required for us to enter the student into our Citizenship Development Management Information Subsystem (CDMIS). This system is used to track a cadets' awards, community service, physical fitness, promotions, etc. This form will be sent home during the first week of instruction. Please fill out and return as soon as possible.
