Attention Winter Athletes, Incoming Freshmen and Transfer Students

*All WINTER Sports begin on Monday, 11/25/2024
(physicals must have been completed after 11/25/23)
In our effort to use a paperless system, our district will continue to utilize ArbiterSports for submission of physicals for all Athletes, Incoming freshmen and all Transfer students. All families recently received an email with information to set up/update your ArbiterSports account.
- If you already registered in ArbiterSports in the past, please click the link above and log in to your account and complete the WINTER registration for the sport you will be participating in and upload a current physical.
- If you already uploaded and submitted a valid physical within your account, then there is no need to upload that physical again. However, you do need to register for your WINTER sport in Arbiter Sports/FamilyID.
- If you do not have a FamilyID account, please follow the link and create an account and upload a current physical.
- If you are not participating in a WINTER sport but you are an Incoming 9th Grader or Transfer student or just updating your physical for approval, there is an option for "Not participating in WINTER Athletics".
**Please note there has been a change to the NJ State PreParticipation Examination Forms and requirements for submission!
(as of July 1, 2024)

Please be mindful if paperwork is late, that we can not guarantee clearance for participation on the start dates.
**Please note that NO student will be allowed to participate in official practice until completed forms are submitted via Arbiter Sports/Family ID and reviewed by the school nurses and approved by school physician. Therefore, if forms are submitted after the due dates, there may be a delay in clearance.
PreParticipation Evaluation Forms (Physical Form)
This physical is valid for one full year.
Please utilize the New Preparticipation Physical Forms for 2024.
These will remain on file with the physician who performs the exam. The only form required for submission into the ArbiterSports registration is the Medical Eligibility Form
- Physical Exams are valid for ONE YEAR ONLY. You may not participate with expired physical. If your insurance will not allow a physical by the due date, please contact me.
- Please be sure the physician signs, stamps and includes date of physical, and checks off clearance status on the Medical Eligibility Form
- Your physician must sign the portion of the Medical Eligibility Form that states he/she has completed the cardiac module. The Medical Eligibility Form can not be accepted if your physician has not signed this or if he/she has not completed this module. **Please check this prior to your appointment.
IMPORTANT INFO!!
Only our school physician has the authority to review and medically approve athletes to participate in sports. The School Nurses review and send only completed registrations and paperwork to our school physician. The school physician reviews forms 2x weekly. If you do not have your COMPLETED paperwork submitted by Deadlines above, you run the real risk of not being able to participate in tryouts on the first day of the season. Please see the athletic web page for first day of practice schedule.
The school doctor will be reviewing each and every individual student's paperwork who intends on participating in a WINTER Sport. You will not be able to submit your paperwork via Arbiter Sports/Family ID and practice that same afternoon. It could be a week or more before you are cleared, depending on when the school doctor is scheduled to review these documents.
** PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL OR FAX FORMS**
All forms must be submitted via ARBITER Sports/Family ID
Thank you!
