Participation in Middle School Athletics

Primarily, members of the physical education department and specially trained Shepard staff sponsor intramural and interscholastic sports activities and cheerleading squads. When and if the need arises, we do go outside our certified faculty and district to employ trained specialists to sponsor and coach these activities.

The following forms must be on file in the Shepard office:

Before Tryouts: All students interested in participating in any interscholastic athletic activity must have the following forms on file with the school nurse (you only need to submit these forms once each school year):

A physical form: For students entering grade 6, the “Certificate of Child Health Exam” form required for all incoming students in Grade 6 can serve as the athletic physical. Make sure that your physician checks the interscholastic sports participation box. For students entering grades 7 and 8, the athletic physical form is theIESA "Pre-participation Examination" form. In any case, the physical must be less than a year old.

A signed Interscholastic Parent Permission and Concussion Information Form.

After Joining a Team: Coaches will give each team member this Athletic Participation Form, which includes fee information, student accident insurance information and asks parents to provide emergency information. Participants also must agree to the Extracurricular Code of Conduct; students and parents must sign and submit the form in order for the student to participate.
