Participation in MHS Athletics requires completion of the following three components:

1. Medical Clearance (Part 1) (REQUIRED FOR EACH SEASON EVEN IF YOU PLAYED A PREVIOUS SPORT)

• Medical clearance is required prior to each athletic season, including team summer workouts

• A Preparticipation Physical Examination (PPE) is valid for one year from the date of examination.
• Once a PPE has been submitted and approved by our team physician, the Health History Updated Questionnaire (HHUQ) is the only medical form required to be submitted prior to each athletic season within the validity period of the approved PPE.
• Medical clearance is required for all team summer workouts
• The approval process can take 2-3 weeks from the time you hand in medical paperwork to the Health Office, until the time you are approved for participation.

2. Athletic Registration (Part 2)

• Required each athletic season (Fall, Winter, Spring)
• Accepted for ONE sport per athletic season

3. Impact Test

• A baseline Impact test is valid for two years from the date of completion
