Vhsl Physical Form PDF Details

At the core of high school athletics in Virginia stands the Virginia High School League (VHSL) Physical Examination form, a comprehensive document designed to ensure the safety and readiness of student-athletes for the rigors of competition. Revised in January 2021, this extensive form serves a dual purpose: firstly, as a testament to a student's physical fitness for athletic endeavors, crucial in minimizing health risks during sports activities; and secondly, as a parental consent form that acknowledges the inherent risks of sports participation. The VHSL form meticulously gathers detailed information on the athlete, including medical history, to alert medical staff and coaches to any conditions that could impact the student's health or performance on the field. Additionally, it delves into the individual eligibility rules for athletes, emphasizing the importance of academic standing, enrollment status, and other key criteria that students must meet to represent their high school in athletic competitions. This form is not only a prerequisite for participation but also an educational tool, emphasizing the significance of health, academic responsibility, and the ethical standards expected of student-athletes in Virginia.

INDIVIDUALIZED ELIGIBILITY RULES

To be eligible to represent your school in any VHSL interscholastic athletic contest, you:

Must be a regular bona fide student in good standing of the school you represent.

Must be enrolled in the last four years of high school. (Eighth-grade students may be eligible for junior varsity)

Must have enrolled not later than the fifteenth day of the current semester.

For the first semester must be currently enrolled in not fewer than five subjects, or their equivalent, offered for credit and which may be used for graduation and have passed five subjects, or their equivalent, offered for credit and which may be used for graduation the immediately preceding year or the immediately preceding semester for schools that certify credits on a semester basis. (Check with your principal for equivalent requirements.) May not repeat courses for eligibility purposes for which credit has been previously awarded.

For the second semester must be currently enrolled in not fewer than five subjects, or their equivalent, offered for credit and which may be used for graduation and have passed five subjects, or their equivalent, offered for credit and which may be used for graduation the immediately preceding semester. (Check with your principal for equivalent requirements.)

Must sit out all VHSL competition for 365 consecutive calendar days following a school transfer unless the transfer corresponded with a family move. (Check with your principal for exceptions.)

Must not have reached your nineteenth birthday on or before the first day of August of the current school year.

Must not, after entering ninth grade for the first time, have been enrolled in or been eligible for enrollment in high school more than eight consecutive semesters.

Must have submitted to your principal before any kind of participation, including tryouts or practice as a member of any school athletic or cheerleading team, an Athletic Participation/Parent Consent/Physical Examination Form, completely filled in and properly signed attesting that you have been examined during this school year and found to be physically fit for competition and that your parents’ consent to your participation.

Must not be in violation of VHSL Amateur, Awards, All Star or College Team Rules. (Check with your principal for clarification about cheerleading.)

Eligibility to participate in interscholastic athletics is a privilege you earn by meeting not only the above-listed minimum standards, but also all other standards set by your League, district and school. If you have any question regarding your eligibility or are in doubt about the effect an activity might have on your eligibility, check with your principal for interpretations and exceptions provided under League rules. Meeting the intent and spirit of League standards will prevent you, your team, school and community from being penalized. Additionally, I give my consent and approval for my picture and name to be printed in any high school or VHSL athletic program, publication or video.

LOCAL SCHOOL DIVISIONS AND VHSL DISTRICTS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL STANDARDS TO THOSE LISTED ABOVE.
