How to Participate


ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION FOR THE 2007-2008 SCHOOL YEAR

An athlete must turn in the completed Authorization for Athletic Participation and Medical Information forms to the Athletic Secretary in the front office to obtain a yellow Permit to Practice Card. Forms can be downloaded (click on link below) or picked up at RMHS in the front office.

Once forms have been turned in, a yellow Permit to Practice Card will be issued. A Permit to Practice Card must be obtained before tryouts each season. The athlete turns the permit into the coach. This indicates to the coach that all of the athlete's paperwork is complete and updated. If forms have already been turned in and physical is current, the athlete only needs to see the Athletics Secretary, Rosalyn Seale, to obtain the card.

NINTH GRADE ATHLETES

The Poudre School District Board of Education has determined that ninth grade athletes may participate at the high school level in all sports.

ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION FEE

The Poudre School District requires that students pay a $85.00 per sport participation fee before they compete in a contest. Cheerleaders, athletic trainers, and managers are exempt from this requirement. There is a $250 per year family maximum. Home school, charter and private schools pay $ 127.50 per student per sport with no family maximum. Students who meet federal guidelines for the free or reduced lunch program will have the participation fee waived after they turn in a completed application form to the Principal's Secretary. Students should contact their coaches or the athletic director for further information.
