Sports clearance allows students to participate in sports. It signifies that the student can safely tryout and participate in a specific sport for a specific season. If at any time your child wishes to switch their sport after the paperwork and clearance are completed, they must contact the Athletic Department. The Athletic Department will notify the coach. A minimum turnaround time of 48 to 72 hours is required to process all requests.
There are three prerequisites to obtaining sports clearance:
- Physical Exam:
A physical exam from a MD, NP or PA licensed in New York or a bordering state is required. The Education Department interprets a bordering state as within 50 miles of the state border. Please visit the Health Office to assure that the Health Certificate from your last physical exam is still valid.
Certain local pediatric practices are using NYSED form; physical exams done by these physicians do NOT need to be transcribed onto our form. Click here for a current list of physicians using the NYSED physical form.
Click Health Examination Form to download/print a blank form. The private MD should transcribe the details of your last exam on to this form. The arrows on the form indicate required information for sports participation.
- ALLERGY/ASTHMA ACTION PLAN:
If your child requires an epi pen or an inhaler , you must have your doctor sign and complete the appropriate form(s) that states your child can carry and self-administer medications: Allergy Action Plan / Asthma Action Plan. IF YOUR CHILD REQUIRES AN EPI PEN OR INHALER THEY MUST HAVE THIS ON THEIR PERSON AT ALL TIMES.
- Health History & Parent Consent
This is a required checklist that you will be prompted to fill out in regards to your child’s health history. This will be cross-checked with the Health History on file. Please note that medical and medical history information will be shared with coaches and athletic staff.
