Athletic Code Video & Paperwork Info

The deadline forthose participating infall sports is July 17th and those participating in winter or spring sports have a Sept 11th deadline.

There is a new process for paperwork this year, as we've gone digital. The first part of the process is the Xavier Athletic Code Video. Luke Herriges, our athletic director, covers many of the high points of the athletic code. You must watch this video before proceeding on to the electronic forms.

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE BEGINNING:

1. The video should be watched on a computer. There are questions that must be answered alongside the video, so a computer is best. If you absolutely need to complete the video on a mobile device, you'll be prompted to install the EdPuzzle app. *The video is 25 minutes, so please watch it when you have time to get all the way through it.

2. If you have two or more highschool athletes, you only need to watch the video once. Please enterall yourchildren's names at the start of the video. The athletic paperwork does have to be completed once for each athlete.

3. You'll be provided a couple of links near the end of the video for the electronic forms and Sportgait test scheduling. It's important to copy/click those links, so that you can complete the electronic forms and schedule your Sportgait test. No worries if you miss the links. We'll be following up with families that complete the video portion each week and providing the links.

4. The Sportgait test is required annually, so even if your athlete(s) had one last year, a new one is required.

5. For those that are unsure of the physical date we have on file, please feel free to respond to this email and we can provide that information.

6. Information you will need before getting started with the paperwork:

 Last physical date

 Insurance coverage information (company, member id)

 Primary medical clinic name and phone number

 Primary dental clinic name and phone number

 Preferred hospital name and phone number https://edpuzzle.com/open/fawanur (CLICK ON THE ASSIGNED VIDEO)

Please read the Xavier Athletic Code and the WIAA Eligibility Information Bulletin

Physical Form: A current physical – which is good for two years – is required. Any physical taken on or after April 1, 2023, will be good for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years. Typically, incoming freshmen and juniors will turn in a physical card.

Alternate Year Card : The alternate year card is required for the second year of the physical. The parent/ guardian completes this form digitally. If the on-file physical was dated before April 1, 2022, then the alternate year card is required for the 2023-24 school year. Typically, incoming sophomores and seniors will complete an alternate year card.
