Athletes must pass a physical examination each year before participation in any sport. This check-up must be done before your first practice or tryout. Until you give the school nurse a current physical exam form signed by a doctor, you won't be able to practice, tryout, or play in games.

Your physical exam is considered current if it happened within the last 13 months. If your physical exam will expire during the sports season, you need to get a new one and give the form to the school nurse before the old one expires. This way, you can keep playing without any problems.

In order for a physical examination to be considered current and valid, it must have occurred within the preceding thirteen (13) months and will otherwise be considered expired. Student Athletes whose physical examination expires during a season must submit a physical examination form certifying a new physical examination prior to the expiration date of their last physical examination in order to continue participation without interruption. 

Academic Eligibility

In order for a student to participate in games or competitions, the student athlete must be academically eligible. The MIAA states, a student must secure during the last marking period preceding the contest, a passing grade and full credit in the equivalent of four traditional year-long major courses. For all fall athletics, students are required to have passed and receive full credit for the equivalent of four traditional year long major courses (e.g. final grades, not quarter four grades determine fall athletics eligibility). 

User Fee

There is a $200 User Fee for each sport (exceptions are $250 for Football, and $400 for Hockey.) The athletic user fee is non-refundable. Athletes who leave a team voluntarily or who are dropped from the team by the coach, athletic director, or principal for disciplinary or scholastic deficiencies are not eligible for a refund. An athlete who pays a fee and is cut from a team will have their fee applied to another sport or refunded in full.  A student may not participate in athletics until user fees from prior seasons have been paid. All user fees must be paid (or payment plans/waivers established) within one week from the first day of practice or tryouts. Permissible penalties for non-payment include the loss of privilege to participate in extracurricular activities (per Weymouth School Committee Policy JQ).

Up to Date Physical

All athletes must have an up to date physical on file with the school nurse/athletic trainer before being allowed to tryout or participate in any sport. A physical is valid for 13 months from the date it was conducted. A student becomes ineligible to participate in practice or games when the physical expires. It is the responsibility of the student and parent to be sure they have an up to date physical. It is quite possible that there will be no reminder that your physical is set to expire.

A bona fide member of the school team is a student who is consistently present for, and actively participates in, all high school team sessions (e.g. practices, tryouts, competitions). Bona fide members of a school team are precluded from missing a high school practice or competition in order to participate in a non-school athletic activity/event in any sport recognized by the MIAA. Athletes cannot be given special treatment (late arrival, early dismissal, etc.) for non-school athletic programs. 

First Offense: Student-athlete is suspended for 25% of the season.

Second Offense: Student-athlete is suspended for an additional 25% of the season, and is ineligible for tournament play immediately upon confirmation of the violation.
