How to Sign Up for Tryouts

Sports Sign-up Requirements

Students interested in playing school sports are required to sign up in the school health office. Students will be given a sports packet to be completed and returned (in person, by mail, or by fax: High School Fax: 518-861-5151 or Middle School Fax: 518-456-3747) before being cleared by the nursing staff prior to participating in tryouts for a particular sport. Additional sports packets will be available in the health office.

The Sports Sign-up Packet Includes Three Forms:

  1. Athletic Form — includes emergency contact information
  2. Required NYS School Health Examination Form — completed by private physician or school physician*
  3. Health History Update — this form cannot be completed earlier than 30 days prior to the start of the season

*If our nurse has a valid physical on file (within the last calendar year), the NYS School Health Examination Form is not required. It is only required if we do not have a valid physical on file.

Grade 7 & 8 Students Drop off completed forms to FMS Nurse Beth Ford
Grade 9–12 Students Drop off completed forms to GHS Nurse Amanda Vogel
⚠️ Important Clearance Notice: All three forms must be handed in before your try-out/practice starts. Students who do not follow this process and have not been approved by the health office will be considered ineligible for sports until they are cleared by nursing staff or our athletic trainer.
