Welcome
all Varsity Athletes.
In
order for you to participate in our Varsity Athletic
Program, in addition to our health form sent to
you shortly
after your acceptance, we require a preparticipation office
visit. This
preparticipation visit
is scheduled in our office no sooner
than 6 weeks prior to the start of your preseason.
If you live farther
than two hours away from the
campus, we realize you may not be able to come here during
the summer
for this appointment.
The appointment is about one and one hours long.
In those cases when you are
unable to come to our
office due to the travel distance beyond a two hour radius,
we will contact you
by phone to obtain some information that
is evaluated at the time of the preparticipation visit.
Should
you prefer to drive the distance, we
appreciate your willingness to do so. We understand that this may
not be possible for some of you.
We then will need to see you to finish gathering
other information
when you come to campus on the first day
of preseason.
We
have posted our requirements for your assistance concerning:
-
Our
Health Form Requirements
This form is to be filed NO LATER THAN the early
summer (June- early July) of each fall academic year. It
will not be accepted at the time of your preparticipation
visit that is scheduled in our office during the summer
months.
see “FULL TIME STUDENT” for all these details.
-
We
ask that your physician submit any additional
information regarding any (ie. an echocardiogram, EKG,
blood pressure monitoring, abnormal heart beats) or
orthopedic evaluations (i.e. surgery, physical
therapy) along with your medical form.
-
The
more information we have before you come to your
preparticipation visit, the more easily we can
evaluate you for clearance to participate on the
Varsity team.

Pre-participation
Clearance Visit – a 1.5 hr appointment – free

-
It
is not done by other than our office medical staff.
-
It
is scheduled by the CCSU medical staff only after the
health examination report is submitted and is complete
in the University Health Service.
-
If
we require any additional medical evaluations or information
we feel necessary prior to the start of preseason, we will
inform you at the time of your visit what this entails.
You will have the summer weeks to do so.
All
of the above must be taken care of before you will be
eligible to be cleared medically for your sport.
Wishing you a healthy and safe varsity
season!
