SPORT PHYSICAL INFORMATION
All students must have a sport physical done before the start of their first sport. This physical may be done by their private physician or by the school doctor. The Sachem physical exam form must be used. Permission and history information must be signed by a parent/guardian. Athletic physicals are valid for one calendar year from the date they are administered. The doctor must sign and date this form.
If a student has already had and passed a sport physical for a previous sport this school year, he/she need not have another physical, however, the student's parent must complete the medical questionnaire form (green card) and return it to the nurse as soon as possible before the new sport begins. Announcements will be made before the start of each new sport season.
SPORT PHYSICALS FOR:
Girls: Volleyball, Cheerleading and Arrowettes
Boys: Basketball
will be given during school hours on Friday, November 6, 2009. In order to have the physical at school, completed forms must be returned to the nurse prior to November 5th. No forms for the school doctor will be accepted after November 5th. If you see a private doctor, the completed forms must be returned to the nurse before tryouts. Coaches can not accept physical forms.
Coaches will announce tryout dates at meetings.
