Required Physical Form

Required Physical Form (Spanish) 

Each student must be covered by either the school-approved accident insurance policy or by a family policy. A form signed by the parent stating that the student is adequately covered by accident insurance with equal policies must be on file at the local school before the student should be allowed to participate. This signature is a part of the Physical Form. Please visit our the GCPS Insurance for Students page for additional options.

Each student must have a physical examination prior to being allowed to participate in a sport. Physicals are good for one calendar year. A Medical History and Warning form should be sent home and signed by the parents stating that they give permission for their child to participate in each sport and authorizing each head coach to act on behalf of the student in case of an emergency. This is a part of the Physical Form. 

The Athletic Code of Conduct is designed to establish high expectations for student athletes. The Code of Conduct establishes minimum consequences.  Coaches should review the Code of Conduct with both student athletes and parents. A copy of the signed student/parent form should be kept on file at the school.

All students must be currently enrolled in McConnell Middle School and must be academically eligible in order to participate in tryouts. Students repeating grade levels are not eligible to participate.

No student will be permitted to practice or participate in athletic activities on a school day if they have not been in attendance at least one-half of the day (three periods-exceptions must be approved by local administration). Athletic activities must not be allowed to interfere with the regular school day. Coaches should keep a close check on and encourage all athletes to give proper emphasis to academic achievement.

No students will be permitted to practice or participate in athletic activities on a school day if they have served in-school or out-of-school suspension.
