Athlete Information Survey

The coaching staff is hard at work in preparing for the upcoming season.  To better assist us in our preparations, we ask that each track & field athlete complete the linked athlete information survey as soon as possible.  Your responses will aide us in ensuring that all team needs are met.

Required Paperwork

There are five required forms for athletic participation at Nueva: Pre-participation Physical completed by a doctor, Steroid Policy form, Concussion Information form, Sudden Cardiac Arrest Information form and the Opioid Factsheet.  Students may not begin practice on February 3rd until all forms have been received (see linked clearance forms).  Athletes who competed in a fall sport, or are currently in a winter sport, have already submitted your required forms, and are automatically cleared to practice.  Should you have any questions regard athletic paperwork, please contact our Athletic Trainer, Nicholas Hryekewicz  (nhryekewicz@nuevaschool.org).

Required Forms

All forms listed below are due prior to the start of practices. Please submit all forms electronically via Magnus Health, our new health portal. You can find the red icon for Magnus Health on your Resources landing page.

This must be done annually. NOTE: Physicals must be dated AFTER June 1, 2024 to be eligible for the 2024–25 athletics seasons. (We encourage you to schedule a summertime physical to ensure that your evaluation is valid for the entire school year.)
