For questions, please contact the athletic training or the head coach of the sport you are trying out for.

No prospective student-athlete will be allowed to participate until they have provided proof of this physical to a member of the athletic training department staff, and the athletic training department staff member has notified the coach &/or weight room staff that they are cleared to participate.
