Student Athletes,

You will be completing ImPact testing online. The following groups are the ONLY athletes who will need to complete the ImPact Test.

• Any athlete new to the district

• Any athlete playing sports this year who did not play a sport last year

• Any athlete entering grade 7, 9, 11 (Please note anyone in grade 8, 10, and 12 who played a sport last year and had an ImPact Test will NOT be tested this year. This was a recommendation from our Health Provider). 

The instructions for the test are below. It is imperative this test be completed in a quiet space where you are able to take your time and concentrate. This test must be taken seriously and we will be monitoring test results closely. In the event results are deemed inconclusive, you will be asked to retake the test prior to your first team practice. All tests MUST be completed before August 11th in order to play a Fall Sport. Any athlete who does not complete the ImPact Test will not be allowed to participate with their teams on the first official day of Fall Sports practice. Any questions regarding ImPact Testing should be forwarded to our St. Luke's Trainer, Shannon McVicar at Shannon.McVicar@sluhn.org.
