STUDENT-ATHLETE INFORMATION

24-25 Fall Sports: Cross Country, B/G Soccer

IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR TRYOUTS, A STUDENT MUST:

  • Have had a physical within 365 days prior to the tryout date.

  • Submit a parent and physician completed NJ state mandated Preparticipation Physical Evaluation (PPE) form to the health office for clearance by our school physician, Dr. Porter.

  • Sports forms must be submitted to the Health Office by Monday, August 26.  All Pre-participation Physical Examination forms will be reviewed by me and cleared for try-outs by the school physician before the Fall season. Tryouts are tentatively scheduled for September 4-6.

  • Students who do not have the mandated PPE turned in (and Health History Update form, if needed) WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR TRYOUTS!

  • Dr. Porter will be in to clear all PPEs on Thursday, August 29.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • A 'Health History Update' form ONLY needs to be completed for students whose PPE is dated greater than 90 days from the first day of try-outs of any sports season.

  • NEW FOR 2024-25: The 'Sudden Cardiac Death in Young Athletes', 'Opioid Use and Misuse,' 'Opioid Video Memo and Sign Off Sheet,' and 'Sports-Related Concussion and Head Injury' forms WILL BE SIGNED IN THE PARENT PORTAL under the Forms tab. These are mandated forms and will be considered current for the entire school year.

  • Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:16-2.2, written notification signed by the school physician stating approval/disapproval of the student's participation in athletics based upon the PPE will be sent home, noting the date of the PPE for your records.

  • It is the parent's and student's responsibility to contact me to ensure all required forms are on file:

    • It is too disruptive to academics for me to locate students to get them any forms they may need. 

    • State forms can be printed out from this web page or picked up in the Health Office.
