Student Signature Date

No student shall represent their school in interschool athletics until there is on file with the superintendent or principal a statement signed by his parent or legal guardian and a signed physical certifying that he/she has passed an adequate physical examination within the past year, that in the opinion of the examining physician, physician’s assistant, nurse practitioner or a certified/registered chiropractor, he/she is physically fit to participate in high school athletics; and that he/she has the consent of his/her parents or legal guardian to participate.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended by the Colorado Department of Health that individuals participating in athletic events have current tetanus boosters. Tetanus boosters are recommended every 10 years throughout life. Boosters are recommended at the time of injury if more than five years have elapsed since the last booster.

If significant intervening illnesses and/or injuries have occurred, a more complete physical examination should be conducted. The physical examination form must be signed by a practicing physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner.

If a student athlete has been injured in practice and/or competition, the nature of which required medical attention, the student athlete should not be permitted to return to practice and/or competition until he/she has received a release from a practicing physician.

NOTE: The CHSAA urges an adequate physical examination be given when a student athlete changes levels of competition, i.e. Little League to Middle School, Middle School to High School.

Z Out-of-Season: Suspension will begin on the sixth day (Sunday not included) after the official CHSAA start date of the next full in-school sports season in which the athlete participates.

Selling, distributing, giving or exchanging of alcohol or an illegal controlled substance will result in immediate suspension until the Dean of Students convenes a disciplinary board hearing. The school may also contact the proper law enforcement agencies.
