Summer Athletic Packet

LHSAA Medical History Evaluation

The purpose of the Summer Athletic Packet is for those students that have not filled out an athletic packet in the previous year, but will participate in spring and summer tryouts and programs.

The Summer Athletic Packet should ONLY be filled out prior to any summer activity by student-athletes who are:

incoming freshman or

If you fall into these groups who are new to SLHS Athletics and are going to participate in summer activities, this summer packet needs to be filled out and a valid physical (valid for 13 months) needs to be turned in prior to participation. The physical can be a copy of your 8th grade physical as long as it is valid for the entire summer period.

This packet and physical needs to be filled out prior to any activity. Turn in your filled out packet and physical to Coach Polkey, your coach, or the front office

It may take up to 48 hours to review your packet, so please fill it our and return it in a timely manner.
