- The pre-participation physical evaluation form must be filled out completely. Incomplete forms will not be accepted.

- All athletic forms must be handed in to the athletic trainer no later than the specified collection dates or the student may not be cleared to start on time.
INJURIES
- All injuries must be reported to the coach, athletic trainer, and school nurse.
- If an athlete visits with a physician for an injury, the athlete must provide medical documentation to the athletic trainer and school nurse. This documentation shall include the diagnosis, limitations and or recommendations, and include a return to play date. A referral form can be found on the athletics’ website to satisfy all requirements.
- An athlete will not be cleared to return to activity until medical documentation has been received.
- An athlete who is returning from an injury or an illness is required to participate in one practice before he or she competes interscholastically.
CONCUSSIONS
- All athletes must take IMPACT before they can participate in athletics.
- Athletes are IMPACT tested every two years.
- If an athlete sustains a concussion, he or she will need to visit with a physician who has been trained in the evaluation and management of concussions. A concussion clearance form is required to be completed and returned to the athletic trainer. This form can be found on the athletics’ website.
- Athletes who have been diagnosed as having a concussion must see the athletic trainer on a daily basis to fill out the post-concussion signs and symptoms check-list.
- All athletes who sustain a concussion must be asymptomatic for seven consecutive days before completing the five day return to play protocol.
INSURANCE COVERAGE
- Athletes injured at practice or a game will immediately notify the coach, the athletic trainer, and school nurse.
- The coach and the athletic trainer will complete an accident report within 48 hours of the injury. This report will be filed in the nurse’s office.
- The athletic trainer will issue the athletic insurance claim form only upon the parent/guardian’s request.
- Interscholastic sports insurance covers all athletes; this is a rider policy. All bills are first sent to the athlete’s insurance carrier and any remaining costs are then submitted to the interscholastic sports insurance.
- It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to submit all bills to the insurance companies.
