The registration process to play a high school sport can be confusing and downright daunting for all involved, so I thought I would explain what goes on behind the scenes in the athletic department office around this time of the year. First off, you have to understand that we are ending one season and moving into the next which includes a turnover of our coaching staff as well as our athletes. We are simultaneously organizing a school wide awards night, training our winter coaches, moving through the tournament with some fall teams, and organizing a budget all in the same crazy weeks of November. Let's suffice it to say that it is busy, but it gets done with a little help and cooperation from you.
The registration process:
We need everyone to register right now (deadline 11/14/12 7am) and once this happens we can check the following to be sure an athlete is eligible:
Report Cards
Discipline Hours owed
Athletic Equipment Owed
Age of Athlete (max 19 prior to Sept. 1, 2012)
Transfer from another school?
Foreign exchange program
Impact test within 2 years
Valid Physical within 13 months
User fee collected
Check on 4 year eligibility limit
Concussion training
I'm probably missing something here, but you get the idea. If everyone registers early we can check all of these requirements AND prepare our GREEN CARDS all in time for the Winter Pre-season Meeting!
And what is a GREEN CARD ANYWAY? It is the card that tells a coach that the athlete is fully eligible, green means GO!
