Students planning on going out for any sport(s) this year will need to have a Sports Physical, Permission Slips and Insurance Information turned in the first day of the school. No student will be allowed to sign up for a team unless the above paperwork has been turned in.  Students who plan on playing a sport will be issued a card at the beginning of the school year once the paperwork is turned in. Only if they have the paperwork turned in and the card issued to them will they be able to sign up for a sport. Please have all physicals taken care of before school starts.

Please note: The state of Nebraska requires all students to have a physical before entering 7th grade.This physical can be used for sports.  If you need a copy of the physical form it is on the OPS web page.
