NEW THIS YEAR - All tryout participants must have a physical on file prior to tryouts.

STEP 1 - Students are encouraged to schedule a physical exam with their primary care provider. If you cannot, then another option is to schedule a sports physical at the Madison College GHC Community Clinic. If scheduling at the clinic prior to the school year you need to bring a copy of your class schedule with you.

STEP 2 - Please print out the Physical Form and have it completed before your appointment. After the appointment, the doctor will give you the form.

STEP 3 - You will need to upload the digital copy of the physical form so it must be in a digital format. If you have a paper copy of the physical form, you can digitize the form by scanning the form into a PDF, requesting a digital copy from your doctor, taking a photo of the form with your smartphone, etc. 

Enrollment Requirement

You must be enrolled in a degree credit class at Madison College inorder to tryout. To complete on an intercollegiate team you need to be enrolled in at least 12 degree credits.
