FHUHS SPORTS PHYSICAL INFO FOR 2011-12

Anyone wishing to participate in athletics during the upcoming school year is reminded that an up-to-date physical is required to be on file with the school nurse and the activities department. All physicals will continue to be valid for one calendar year.

The Vermont Department of Health suggests that all students in Vermont receive an annual “Well Child” exam, which will now also serve as the sports physical. We want to get this information out in a timely manner so that all parties affected by this change will have ample opportunities to schedule their appointments. It will be the responsibility of the student-athletes and their families to provide coaches or FHUHS administration with a copy of the physical exam prior to the first practice for the fall season. Failure to do so will prevent the student-athlete from participation, unless we have a record of a valid physical (within the past calendar year) on file at the high school.

CONCUSSION AWARENESS

New this year is Vermont’s School Sports Concussion Law (Act 58 of 2011), which will require parents and athletes to sign off that they have received the information developed pursuant to concussions in youth sports, and FHUHS will provided this information annually to each youth athlete and the athlete’s parents or guardians. FHUHS will continue to utilize the ImPACT Concussion Recognition Program as we have the four previous years, and we believe our concussion awareness program is ahead of many other schools.

All participants are reminded that a signed permission form, a signed concussion form, and a current physical must be on file at FHUHS in order to practice.

Below is information relevant to Vermont’s new Concussion Education Law and concussion awareness.

We will continue to post updates on the web as soon as they become official. Please contact Eric Ramey at eramey@arsu.org with any questions.
