This must be completed AND approved before participation in any off season work out and before trying out. Athletes who do not have this clearance are ineligible and therefore CANNOT make the team. The paperwork must be renewed every year and athletic physicals must also be done yearly.
The best time to do this paperwork is over the summer months. That way this will prevent students from missing school and will also cover student athletes for the entire year, meaning all 3 sports seasons - Fall, Winter, and Spring.
