Paperwork

Physicals

All athletes MUST have a doctor’s signed physical before they will be eligible to participate in any competition. Physicals are valid for one year from the date on the form and therefore must be renewed yearly for continued participation from one year to the next. Physicals may cover multiple sports as long as the activity is within one year of the date on the physical.

Athlete Agreements

  1. NDPA Agreement
    As a member of one of NDPA’s athletic teams, it is expected that an athlete’s behavior and attitude will reflect the high standards that we hold here at NDPA. We require all athletes to agree to represent NDPA well.
  2. Coach’s Agreement
    Each coach has expectations for their specific teams, and athletes will be required to understand and agree to the coach’s requirements for participation.
  3. Parent/Guardian Agreements
    As a condition of participation on any athletics team, all families of athletes will be required to donate volunteer hours to their athlete’s team. Volunteer opportunities will be outlined by individual coaches, according to the team’s need. An Athletics Form is required each school year. Parents and student athletes should read and understand this form prior to participating in NDPA Athletics.
