●●●● The DSA High School Student-Athlete/Parent Handbook has been updated for the 2023-24 Athletic Year!
24-25 DSA HIGH SCHOOL Athletics Student Athlete/Parent Handbook
There are several UPDATES! It is a requirement to review this handbook prior to registering!
In addition, the DSA HS Athletic website has been updated for registration information: www.dpsathletics.com/dsa (click the blue button)
To be cleared for Fall athletics or Summer workouts, Athletes/Managers must:
- Bring the NEW 2023-24 Physical Form with you when you get a physical from a medical professional.
- MAKE SURE THEY SIGN AND DATE IT PRIOR TO LEAVING THAT APPT!
- Have a Parent/Guardian register on the Dragonfly Platform, connect to DSA, and add the athlete or manager to their registration.
Upload/submit ALL required documents ONLINE:
- Please make sure you follow exact instructions to allow your clearance to go smoothly.
These uploaded forms cannot be uploaded together so please complete the following in order to be eligible to attend the clearance session, the NCHSAA requires these to be separate uploads. (Yes even though they print out as "one" document, they must be uploaded by title on the top of each page
1. Authorization for release (DPS online form) ONLY PRINT HARDCOPY
2. Assumption of risk (DPS online form) ONLY
3. NCHSAA Health History ONLY (upload 1)
4. NCHSAA CURRENT or UPDATED physical ONLY (upload 2) PRINT HARDCOPY
5. NCHSAA Concussion ONLY (online form)
6. NCHSAA Medical Eligibility Form ONLY (upload 3)
7. The NCHSAA consent form-WHENEVER IT IS ADDED- I WILL LET YOU KNOW!! PARENTS WILL HAVE TO REVISIT DRAGONFLY WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE.
- Do not upload any documents to these categories that are not the documents it is asking for. Doing so will slow down your clearance tremendously!
Once these uploads have been done, the next steps are:
- Attend a Registration Clearance session to drop off hard copies of the HIPAA form (Authorization for release is HIPAA) and your physical on one of the days listed in the DSA high school student-athlete/parent handbook! (link above)
- Reach out to your potential coach if you have not yet! (Contact info in handbook!)
