For anyone interested in participating in a WINTER sport in grades 7-8 there a number items needed prior to being able to participate:

-Registering for the sport online

- Proper medical clearance (PIAA Physical) to participate through the Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Exam.

In order to ensure that everything is submitted please complete the online registration process as thoroughly as possible at the following links:

Grades 7-8: Middle School

Any student that competed in a fall sport will need to register as well on their account for a winter sport!

Please remember that if your child is planning to participate in a PIAA sport, he or she must have a completed Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Exam (doctor physical) prior to any type of participation on the first official day of the season (including any try-outs).

Prior to any student participating in Practices, Inter-School Practices, Scrimmages, and/or Contests, at any PIAA member school in any school year, the student is required to (1) complete a Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation (CIPPE); and (2) have the appropriate person(s) complete the first six Sections of the CIPPE Form. Upon completion of Sections 1 and 2 by the parent/guardian; Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 by the student and parent/guardian; and Section 7 by an Authorized Medical Examiner (AME), those Sections must be turned in to the Principal, or the Principal’s designee, of the student's school for retention by the school. The CIPPE may not be authorized earlier than June 1st and shall be effective, regardless of when performed during a school year, until the latter of the next May 31st or the conclusion of the spring sports season.

* Please note that the following sections are completed through the online registration process:

Section 1 - Personal and Emergency Information

Section 2 - Certification of Parent/Guardian

Section 3 - Understanding of Risk of Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury

Section 4 - Understanding of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Symptoms and Warning Signs

Section 5 - Supplemental Acknowledgement, Waiver and Release: COVID-19

The following sections will need to be a printed copy for the doctor to review:

Section 6 - Health History (completed for the doctors review at the appointment)

Section 7 - The Certification of Authorized Medical Examiner

These forms can be accessed at the following link:

Once the doctor has cleared the student-athlete and signed section 7, these forms will then be uploaded by the CASD into the student’s account in FAMILY ID (online registration platform).

In addition to the CIPPE online forms all other online forms will also be required which also includes the Raider Packet that contains our extra-curricular code of conduct and related policies.
