Athletic Clearance system issuesHi,
You
(student and parent(s)) are receiving this email because you have
registered for cross country on the Athletic Clearance system and as of
8/7/19 at 10:30PM, your eligibility status is "uncleared". The
athletic trainer, not me, makes the determination of your
status.
1. Obviously, you need a current sports physical which is good for a calendar year.
2.
You need to pass the concussion base test that is referred on the
Athletic Clearance system as the "Impact Test". The next testing
is on 8/8/19 from 10AM to 2PM in Room 307. The test takes about
30 minutes and only about 32 people can test at the same time.
There are no dates set for testing beyond 8/8 as the expectation was
all fall sport athletes would complete it before the start date of
8/9.
3. You must
provide proof of insurance by making a copy of or photographing your
medical card and uploading it to the system.
4. Make sure that all signatures have been done and dated.
5. Your correct student id is required.
6.
There are two pages to the physical; both must be uploaded to the
system. Anything that you upload can not be password
protected. It is best to use PDF files. Make sure that you can
view the file(s) on the system by getting out, re-logging on, and try
to view them.
You cannot tryout until you are cleared on Athletic Clearance.

Cross Country tryoutsTryouts for cross country is not one day. It is a number of days, through 8/24. I accumulate data about
each person trying out before I determine their status. If you
miss too many days, you will not be on the team or be subject to time
trials. If you come out really late, your chances of being on the
team will diminish. During
the tryout period we will be doing intervals on the track, road runs,
trail/hill runs (Fremont Older), time trials, conditioning, and weight
room. Tryouts/practice can be up to three hours.
1. You must have proper running shoes in good condition.
2. You must have sweat pants and running pants for the warm-up.
3. Bring water,
4. Hydrate throughout the day, every day.
5. Get enough rest, i.e. sleep.
6. Don't eat junk.
7. Be prepared. Your body and mind will be under stress.
8. Don't come late to Fremont Older. Get dropped off (parking is very limited) and picked-up from 8:30PM to 8:45PM.
This
email is being sent only to those on the Athletic Clearance system as
of 8/7/19, 10:30PM. Please share with your parents.
