The remaining winter sports (wrestling, track & field, swim & dive, and gymnastics) will start on Monday December 14, 2020.

This form must be completed after 4pm but before they arrive to practice. (Entries before 4pm are deleted every day). Students can bookmark this link on their device. Coaches will also have a QR code if the student runs into issues.

Paperwork and Eligibility
- Each student needs to have two items completed to be eligible to try-out. Valid VHSL physical on the February 2017 form dated May 1, 2020 or after. If the athlete still needs to turn in the their physical, they should bring it on their first day and give it to the athletic trainer (wrestling, gymnastics, track & field) and give it to their coach (swim & dive).
- You must be signed up for your sport under the athletic registration and completed the concussion education and emergency care card.
- To check your status, create/sign into your account on Athletic Registration https://tjhsst-ar.rschooltoday.com/. If your Incomplete Registration Tab is GRAY then you are COMPLETE. You should click on the IMPORTANT DATES and see your physical date there.
- Coaches will have access to a compliance report with everyone that has completed all three items. Students that are not compliant will be sent to the athletic trainer to check eligibility. Students without required items will be sent home.
- Once athletes make the team, they will need to complete the Parent/Guardian Health Screening Commitment Form in either SIS ParentVue or turn in the hard copy to the coach. Athletes will not be eligible for game participation until this form is completed.
