By completing the FamilyID registration and the UCPS Athletic Eligibility packet, my child and I have read and understand the athletic eligibility requirements to participate. I understand, any forgery or failure to properly sign the information contained in the eligibility packet (including Family ID online registration) may result in fines and penalties to my child's school and/or the ineligibility of my student-athlete for 365 days.

Don't Get Caught Without a Valid Physical! 

The NCHSAA states that in order to be eligible for practice or participation in high school athletic activities a player must receive a medical examination once every 395 days by a duly licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant. If the athlete's physical expires they become ineligible and can not practice or play until a current physical is on file with the school. This includes in season and out of season workouts.

**PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE DUE TO COVID19**

Pre-Participation Form (Physical Examination Form)

Even if new physical is not required, a new Pre-Participation form is required for this school year.  It is the first page of the Physical that is filled out by the parent and athlete.
