WHS Athletic Paperwork for the Fall 2024 (Genesis is now open)

 WHS Athletic Paperwork for the Fall 2024

The Fall season is almost upon us.  The summer season officially switches to the Fall season on Monday, August 12th (Football & Tennis) & Monday, August 19th (All other sports), 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 8th, 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 12, 2023 for Football/ August 19, 2023 for all other sports or more recent.

NJ State Athletic Participation Form

A health history update

Health History 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)

A few notes:

-There is a new form this year for the “physical”.  It is a medical eligibility form.  Please make sure it is signed by the physician.  

-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 at: basilicatoj@waldwickschools.org

Thanks, stay safe, healthy and enjoy the rest of summer!
