MIDDLE SCHOOL FORMS AND INFORMATION
MANDATORY PAPERLESS FORMS FOR ATHLETICS:

ATTN: All parents of student-athletes

The Athletic Department at Banks Trail Middle School now hosts their Pre-Participation Athletic Forms online with Big Teams. This digital platform will allow you, and your student(s), to complete and access athletic forms via computer, tablet, or mobile phone. It is HIPAA, COPPA and FERPA compliant.

**NO Athletic Forms will be sent into the school or to the coaches**

• Parents/Students SetUp Accounts with BigTeams.com
  • Link Accounts
• Fill In Forms & Sign Forms (online)
• Upload Physical Exam & Birth Certificate *Pic or Scan* (online)
• All Sports Required Forms Confirmed by AD (online)

  *Athletic Forms Uploaded – ALL SPORTS Linked*

Important: Students must be sure to create accounts using accurate information, including their Official Name from school registration, DOB, high school graduation year and school.

Athletes cannot participate in sports until digital forms are complete and approved by your school. Forms will be valid for the entire school year for which they are filled out, with the exception of the physical exam provided by your physician which will reflect the policy set in place by your athletic department. Completing and having your Pre-Participation Registration Forms accepted by your school does NOT guarantee you have made the team.

 All Forms Must Be Completed On-Line Prior To Trying Out or Practicing  For ALL Sports.
