All student-athletes are required to have a physical no earlier than 6 months prior to the first day of practice.

SICKLE CELL TRAIT STATUS:
Beginning with the 2014-2015 academic year, the NCAA mandated that all student athletes provide confirmation of their sickle cell trait status. A positive sickle cell solubility test will not prohibit a student-athlete from participation. Sickle cell trait only becomes a threat in certain rare situations in which athletes push the limits of their physical conditioning. Being aware of the trait and taking proper precautions can help trait carriers enjoy successful and healthy athletic careers. Please read the following forms for more information on the sickle cell trait and on how to confirm your sickle cell trait status.
