The following are instructions on how to fill out and submit Newcastle Public Schools athletic participation forms:

1. The following information will be needed to complete the online forms:

Student’s name, ID number, and date of birth
Student’s grade in school
Student’s current mailing address
Last school attended with school address (if applicable)
Primary physician and preferred hospital
Emergency contacts with phone numbers

2. The required athletic participation forms are listed under the “Electronic Documents” tab. Click on a form name and fill out the information requested.

3. To sign the document, click inside the signature box and hold down the mouse button, which allows you to create an “electronic signature.” If you make a mistake and need to start over, click on the refresh icon next to the signature box. If you are using an iPad, you may create an electronic signature by holding your finger to the screen and signing or by using a stylus pen and signing.

4. Each form may be printed after all information is completed.

5. To submit a physical, click on the physical upload form. You must attach a clear picture of BOTH sides of the physical form. The physical must be completed and signed by a physician. If the physical is denied for any reason, you will receive a notification from RankOne.

Physicals must be completed by an MD, DO, physician's assistant (PA), or nurse practitioner. Physicals from chiropractors will not be accepted. If a student's parent or guardian is a qualified healthcare professional, they may not complete their student's physical. The physical must be completed by someone not directly related to the student.

Physicals must be hand signed. All physicals for OSSAA participation must be given no earlier than May 1 of the preceding year in which the students are to participate in and before the first day of practice in that student's particular activity. The physical will be valid from the date of the physical given until the next required physical.
