PHYSICALS AND ALTERNATE YEAR CARDS
Any student who plans to participate in a sport at Notre Dame Academy, particularly incoming freshmen, must complete either a
physical form or an
alternate year card. These must be returned to the Athletic Department prior to the first scheduled practice. Students will not be allowed to practice unless the physical form or alternate year card has been completed and returned to the Athletic Department. (If the sport involves tryouts and one of the cards has not been turned in, the student will not be allowed to try out for the team.) Physicals are valid for two years if they meet the time guidelines listed below. All freshmen need physicals as they begin their high school careers. Forms may be picked up in the Notre Dame Academy Main Office or Business Office. The Prevea Sports Medicine Clinic will offer physicals to students on Monday, June 22nd between 4 and 8 P.M. at the Howard site and again on Wednesday July 29th between 6 and 8 P.M. at the Clinic by Bay Park Square. Cost is $20.00. You need to call for an appointment at the Howard site but no appointment is necessary for the Bay Park site. Also please read the NDA Communique for other Clinic locations and dates when physicals will be offered. Please do not wait until the last minute to schedule a physical. Athletes cannot participate in any try-outs or practices if they need a physical and it has not been turned in to the Athletic Office.
The WIAA rule regarding physicals reads as follows:
A student may not practice for or participate in interscholastic athletics until the school has written evidence on file in it’s office attesting to (a) parental permission each school year and (b) current physical fitness to participate in sports as determined by a licensed physician or advanced practice nurse prescriber no less than every other school year with April 1 the earliest date of examination. School policy determines when an athlete may return to competition following an injury, except where rulebook or WIAA tournament policies apply. (Note) It is recommended that a student also have dental fitness attested by a licensed dentist.
Physical examination taken April 1 and thereafter is valid for the following two school years; physical examination taken before April 1 is valid only for the remainder of that school year and the following school year. Physicians may authorize Nurse Practitioners of Physician Assistants to stamp this card with the physician’s signature, or the name of the clinic with which the physician is affiliated.
To recap the requirements for incoming freshmen:
All incoming freshmen must have a physical to participate in athletics at Notre Dame during the 2009-2010 school year. If this took place after April 1, 2009 it will be good for two years. Anyone with a physical date before April 1st must contact the athletic director for proper filing of all paperwork.
Reminder – don’t wait until the end of summer. The physical must be turned in before a student will be allowed to practice for any team. This rule applies to all sports – football, soccer, cross country, volleyball, golf, tennis, basketball, hockey, baseball, softball, track, cheerleading and the dance team.
