In order to ensure compliance with state and county

of eligibility cards (Yellow Cards)
YOU MAY NOT TRY OUT WITHOUT A YELLOW CARD!
MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING YOU TURN IN FOR YOUR

YELLOW CARDS WILL BE ISSUED ON OUR PHYSICAL TURN IN

A Yellow Card will be issued when the
following requirements have been met:

2. Emergency care form
3. Either private or school health insurance
4. On line concussion seminar (parent and
student)
5. Weight room use form
6. All students must have passed 5 classes last
semester (except rising Freshman)
# 1: VHSL PHYSICAL FORM
Three pages are filled out by parent, one page by
doctor. Physical must have been performed AFTER
May 1, 2014.
If you are doing green days, you may turn these into
the coach. If not, turn into Activities Office.
The student signs in two places, parent signs in three.
Make sure Dr. has signed and DATED page 3.
If you had your physical done at school, we will have
that on record.
# 2: EMERGENCY CARE FORM
BOTH sides must be completed and form must
be signed by parent.
Make many copies as you’ll need them for the
main office and for each sport you play.
Bring a copy to Activities Office (even if you’ve
already turned it into a coach).
# 3: HEALTH INSURANCE
• Students must have either private insurance or
purchase school insurance.
• School Accident Insurance may be purchased
prior to the start of the season. As soon as we
know the name and contact information of this
coming year’s vendor, we will post it.
# 4: CONCUSSION EDUCATION PROGRAM
• Student and one parent must complete this
online seminar. You do not need to print
anything when you are done as your information
automatically goes into our system.
• DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE IMPACT
PROGRAM used by our Certified Athletic Trainers
to measure baselines on each athlete.
