Winter Sports Information


As September comes to a close, the Athletic Department at HGCS is preparing for the upcoming winter season. For those of you who are interested in trying out for basketball, swimming, or cheerleading this year, it is time to begin the registration process and complete your online athletic forms through FamilyID. The FamilyID registration must be completed and a current physical (signed by a doctor within the past 395 days) must be submitted for all winter athletes BEFORE tryouts begin.

Please read below for information regarding pre-season activities (if applicable), tryout dates and times, and how to register on FamilyID.

In lieu of an evening sports information meeting, we have created an informational video that you can view from the comfort and convenience of your own home. Please watch the video at the following link to ensure that you are familiar with our Athletic Department policies and are ready for the winter season: https://vimeo.com/348660093

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:
Follow these steps:
1.  To find your program, click on the link provided above and select the registration form "Hickory Grove Christian School Athletic Registration Winter 2019-2020" under the word Programs.
2.  Next click on the green Register Now button and scroll, if necessary, to the Create Account/Log In green buttons. 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.
3.  Create your secure FamilyID account by entering the account owner First and Last names (parent/guardian), E-mail address and password. Select I Agree to the FamilyID Terms of Service. Click Create Account.
4.  You will receive an email with a link to activate your new account. (If you don’t see the email, check your E-mail filters (spam, junk, etc.).
5.  Click on the link in your activation E-mail, which will log you in to FamilyID.com
6.  Once in the registration form, complete the information requested. All fields with a red* are required to have an answer.
7.  Click the Continue button when your form is complete.
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.
