Participants must complete the following before practice or tryouts begin:

1. Have a completed physical. This can be emailed to the office SHMSAthletic@usd450.net, dropped off in the office (office hours are 7:15 - 3:30 M-F), or brought on or before the first day of tryouts.

   No player will be allowed to try out without a completed KSHSAA physical packet on file.

2. Complete the Concussion video. The only participants that need to do this are the ones that have not previously been involved in a sport this year. They can email the certificate to our athletic director, drop the certificate off at the office with their physical, or bring it with them to tryouts.

All athletes must have a physical on file in the MS office before they can attend practice (no exceptions).   All athletes must watch the NFHS videos.  We would encourage parents to watch them with their children. 

Concussion Training

All athletes who wish to participate in a spring sport must complete an online course on concussions. The courses are available for free through the NFHS website (see below). Once complete, students should turn in their completion certificate to their coach on the first day of practice.

Navigate to: NFHS Learn

Student-athletes should create an account for themselves to be used each year.

Search the courses for the following two courses:

• NFHS Concussion Video

You must "purchase" these courses, but there is no cost. Once they have been "purchased," students can complete each course at their own pace. Print the certificate upon completion. If you are unable to print them, please send them via email to SHMSAthletic@usd450.net, and the certificates will be sent to the fall sports coaches.

Once you are on the NFHS page, set up an account. The accounts are free to set up. Be sure to choose the video for Kansas.  Once your child has watched the video, the athlete needs to take a screenshot of the screen and send it to his or her head coach or print the certificate and bring it with him or her to the athlete’s first practice/tryout. Participants who come without the certificate will be required to watch the video at the school and miss that portion of tryouts. Thank you for your help with this step.
