On an annual basis:
- All student-athletes and their parents are required to read and sign the NMAA Concussion Fact Sheet/Informed Consent Form before sports participation begins.
- All student-athletes must receive a physical prior to athletic participation. A physical form, signed by the performing physician, must be submitted to the school before a student is declared eligible. Physicals must be conducted on or after April 1 of the previous school year to be considered current.
Please be aware that the physical form is only one of three different forms required prior to participation in interscholastic athletics. Please contact your local school for a code of conduct form and a student/parent permission form.
For information on sports physicals and concussion management, as well as other sports medicine related areas, please visit the NMAA Sports Medicine webpage.[/vc_column_text][mk_custom_list style=”mk-moon-youtube” icon_color=”#909090″ align=”left”]
