Physicals

Athletic policy requires each student to bring a new copy of his/her sports physical before the student is able to try out for that sport. Sports that require a sports physical prior to trying out are: boys basketball, girls basketball, cheerleading, football, track, cross-country, and volleyball. Sports physicals are no longer stored in the office, as it has become unmanageable with differing expiration dates and 200+ athletes.
