New Wheelock Athletes

New Wheelock Athletes:

Welcome to Wheelock College Athletics! Prior to participating on a Wheelock College athletic team, all athletes must provide the Sports Medicine department with their physical, current address, emergency contact information, insurance, medical alerts, health history, and insurance information. All pre- participation paperwork is completed and submitted using SportsWare Online and is required of all athletes on an annual basis. If you are under 18 please print the forms on SportsWare and have your parent/guardian sign them. Complete instructions for how to access SportsWare will be sent to your Wheelock email address or are available online at www.wheelockwildcats.com/information/Forms, under “Athletic Training Forms”.

All new athletes (first years and transfers) must have a physical administered within six months prior to participation in any practice, competition, or out-of-season conditioning activities per NCAA Bylaw 17.1.5 Mandatory Medical Examination. A copy of this physical must be on file with the Student Life office and with Sports Medicine before an athlete can participate in intercollegiate sports including any practice, game, or pre-season activities. Please upload a copy of your physical to Sportsware or bring a hard copy with you on your athletic clearance day.

You can access SportsWare at https://www.swol123.net. Your personal account can be accessed using your Wheelock email address ([email protected]).
