3.     Sickle cell trait testing is required by the NCAA for all student athletes.  Results of sickle cell trait testing should be uploaded to your ATS profile as laid out in the instructions packet in step number one above.  Many student athletes were tested at birth for sickle cell trait.  As such, it is recommended that students reach out to their primary care physician to see if a copy of these results can be acquired.  If sickle cell trait testing has not been done previously or results cannot be acquired, a blood test, that can be ordered by your primary care physician, will be necessary to be eligible for sport participation.  See this link if you have questions regarding sickle cell trait testing:  https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2016/7/27/sickle-cell-trait.aspx

If you are not yet 18, please have a parent or guardian sign and date underneath your signature at the bottom of the page.

5.     Attached here is a form required for those student athletes who take medications that contain substances banned by the NCAA.  Common medications include spironolactone, albuterol, and medications used to treat ADD/ ADHD.  If you are taking any substance banned by the NCAA for medical reasons please reach out to your prescribing doctor to help you complete this form.  Please note that it MUST be filled out and signed by the doctor who prescribes these medication(s) for the student athlete to avoid sanctions should he/she get drug tested.  Once this information is obtained the form and all accompanying documents should be uploaded to the e-files section of your ATS profile.  Please see the NCAA for more information: https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2015/1/23/medical-exceptions-procedures.aspx
