As we near the
beginning of the new school year, we would like to make you aware of additions
and changes in the athletic forms that will be required for every student's
participation in athletics at HGCS.
As always, all
students intending to participate in any athletic activity at HGCS, including
workouts, practices, games, camps, etc., must turn in a current physical form
to the Athletic Office or Athletic Trainer prior to participation. Physicals
are considered current for one calendar year from the examination date. The
HGCS Athletic Physical Form is available on the Athletics page of the school website.
In accordance with
our new partnership with Carolinas Healthcare System, students will be required
to turn in two new medical forms in addition to the previously required
Emergency Medical Treatment Authorization and Concussion Statement Forms. These
two new forms, the CHS Release for Student Athletes and CHS Request for
Treatment and Authorization, have been grouped together with our previously
required medical forms into one HGCS Athletic Medical Forms packet. This packet
is be available as one PDF document on the Athletics page of the school website. All
forms in the Athletic Medical Forms packet must be completed, signed, and returned to the Athletic
Office prior to the beginning of tryouts for the current season.
Additionally, our
Athletic Participation Agreement has been updated to reflect this year's
eligibility requirements and athletic policies. Both the student-athlete and a
parent/legal guardian must initial each page as well as sign and date the final
page of the Athletic Participation Agreement. As always, the updated
Athletic Participation Agreement is available on the Athletics page of the school website. Students participating in Varsity or JV Football must sign
and return the football-specific form. The Athletic Participation Agreement
must be turned in to the Athletic Office prior to the beginning of tryouts for
the current season. Students who have turned in last year's Athletic
Participation Agreement over the summer must also turn in the updated Athletic
Participation Agreement for the 2016-2017 school year.
All forms, including
the Athletic Physical Form, Athletic Medical Forms Packet, and Athletic
Participation Agreement, must be turned in BEFORE tryouts begin for the current
athletic season. Students trying out for fall teams that begin tryouts on
August 1 must turn in all forms prior to the beginning of tryouts on August 1. Students
trying out for fall teams that begin tryouts on August 8 must turn in all forms
prior to the beginning of tryouts on August 8. Any student who has not turned
in all required forms will not be allowed to participate in tryouts.
Please take the time
to review the new and updated forms. If your student
intends to try out for a sport, please complete, sign, and return all forms
prior to the beginning of tryouts. All athletic forms will be available
throughout the year on the Athletics page of the school website.
