Tryout procedures
***Highlighted areas are a change to the previous policy. Effective 5/1/2022
Please carefully read the following information. All athletes and prospective athletes must have a completed physical on file that is CURRENT ALL SCHOOL YEAR (physical cannot expire between August 2023 and May 2024). This change prohibits any student athlete from losing eligibility due to a lapsed physical.
Some students, due to insurance requirements, want to play sports next year and are not able to get a physical through insurance prior to the dates mentioned above. OSNC provides sports physicals for $10 at walk-in clinics at any time but also have some specific dates set for our school. We have provided the schedule and location for these sports physicals below. This will provide all families the opportunity to get on the schedule with insurance for the 2023-2024 school year, while still providing an affordable option for 2023-2024. All students must have a completed physical (that doesn't expire during the school year Aug-May) form submitted by July 31, 2023 to participate in sports or off-season training for NRCA in the fall, winter, or spring sports seasons of the 2023-2024 school year. If you think your student may consider participating in ANY sport or tryout throughout the 2023-2024 school year, he/she must have a physical on file by July 31.
Thank you for your attention to this matter as we seek to streamline our athletic physical submission process and ensure that no student athlete loses eligibility due to a lapsed physical mid-season.
A registration account only needs to be created one time. After that initial registration account is created, only the sport/activities need to be selected and current physical form uploaded on a yearly basis.

How to upload a physical
(if you did not upload a current physical when you registered for the current school year,
or uploading a new physical because the old one expired)

The physical can NOT expire during the school year (Months August-May). Ex. If a student desires to participate in ANY sport ANY time during the 2023/2024 School year their physical must be current ALL school year for the months of August 2023-May 2024. If they are participating in summer workouts then it must be active beginning in June 2023 through May 2024. BEST PRACTICE is to have physical done in JUNE of every summer so that it covers the student for summer workouts and ALL school year. Coaches will have access to contact and medical information listed in the registration system in case of an injury or medical emergency. The registration system will send you a reminder via email 1 month before the physical/concussion forms on file expire.
