Athletic Paperwork for the Fall 2022 (Genesis is now open)
The Fall season is almost upon us and hopefully we will be back to normal! The summer season officially switches to the Fall on Wednesday, August 10th, so this is a new season (technically) and we will need all of the medical paperwork submitted in order to be cleared for those practices. Keep in mind even if you were cleared for summer practices you will need to be cleared again for this fall season. Oftentimes there are errors or omissions with paperwork. Submitting paperwork by Thursday August 4th, 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 August 23, 2021 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 needs to be completed once per school year)
“Random Drug Testing” to be electronically signed on the parent portal of Genesis. (Note: This only needs to be completed once per school year)
Some parents have been having issues with certain links on the forms not giving access. This doc has all the links as a resource if a link is not working for you. If you are having issues with these links, try to open the doc in a different browser.
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.
-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!
