Athletic Paperwork for the Fall 2020


Athletic Paperwork for the Fall 2020 - Guest post from Jeff Basilicato (Boz)

The fall season is almost upon us and it is looking very promising that we will be able to compete this season! Understandably, everything is a little different this year. The fall season officially starts for in person practice on Monday September 14th and we will need all of the medical paperwork submitted in order to be cleared for those practices. Often times there are errors or omissions with paperwork, so submitting paperwork by Monday September 7th is very strongly recommended so you are certain to be cleared for the first day of practice. As always there are four items needed in order to be cleared for participation for the fall season. The following links contain the files and information required for participation. These forms must be completed in full, and without errors or they will be returned for completion.

A physical, completed by your physician dated September 13, 2019 or more recent.
physical Form

A health history update & Covid Questionnaire
Update Form

“WHS Athletic Forms/Extra-Curricular Activities” to be electronically signed on the parent portal of Genesis. (Note: This only need to be completed once per school year)

“Random Drug Testing” to be electronically signed on the parent portal of Genesis. (Note: This only need to be completed once per school year)

A few notes:
-The physical must be completed in full and signed by the student, parent and physician in all the applicable places. Please take care to note before leaving the doctor's office that all values (height, weight, vision etc.) must be filled in or the physical will be returned for completion. Due to the pandemic, there is possibility for some leeway depending on the date of your most recent physical. If you cannot obtain a new physical before the start of the season please contact me directly.

-If the athlete sees an eye doctor, the physician who performs the physical might not perform a vision exam. In this case, a copy of an eye glass or contacts prescription must be provided.

-All athletes participating in a fall sport need to fill out a Health History Update (Item 2). While this is exactly the same form that was filled out for summer practices, the state considers the summer and fall separate seasons. Therefore, an additional HHU needs to be filled out for the fall season, as it does for Winter and Spring.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact Jeff Basilicato via email, Thanks, stay safe, healthy, and enjoy the rest of summer!
