FAMILYID REGISTRATION INFORMATION

We have partnered with FamilyID, a secure online platform for submitting all necessary information for sports participation. Families will be able to create an account, register middle school and high school students for sports each season, and digitally sign athletic forms. Sports physicals, which must be updated and signed by a doctor every 395 days, may be uploaded directly to your FamilyID account.

Each family will only need to create one FamilyID account. Multiple children can be registered for multiple sports seasons under one family account. 

Hickory Grove's FamilyID site is now open and accepting registration for winter sports. Tryouts will be held the week of October 28th, and specific days and times for each sport can be found on the FamilyID page. Each student-athlete's online registration must be complete and sports physical must be uploaded (or submitted in person to the Athletic Office) before tryouts begin. You can begin your athletic registration now by following the instructions below:

REGISTRATION PROCESS: 

A parent/guardian should register by clicking on this link:

https://www.familyid.com/hickory-grove-christian-school

If this is your first time using FamilyID, click Create Account. Click Log In, if you already have a FamilyID account. Do not create a new account if you previously registered a student for the fall season.

8.  Review your registration summary.

If you previously registered a student for the fall season, you should be able to select the student’s name after you click on the winter registration link. This will autofill that student’s information so you do not have to enter the information again manually. Please be sure that the student’s physical form that was uploaded is still current (signed by a doctor within the past 395 days).

The link to access Hickory Grove's FamilyID site is also available under "Athletics" on the school website. The NCISAA sports physical form is attached to this email and is also available as a PDF link on the FamilyID site. The sports physical form will need to be printed and signed by a doctor before it is uploaded to your FamilyID account or submitted in person to the Athletic Office.

If you have any questions about how to access and complete your registration, please contact the Athletic Office at (704) 531-4038. You may also contact FamilyID's technical support team at (888) 800-5583.
