Proof of a physical within last 13 months (on or after 7/22/10) must be presented. A user fee of $340 ($480/family maximum) must be paid. The fee entitles the student to participate in all school activities with a paid coach or paid advisor.

A clearance form will be issued when all paperwork is complete. Students cannot tryout for a team without a clearance form issued by the Athletic Office.
