Attention Washington and Lee Athletes:
NCAA legislation requires that all student-athletes must undergo a mandatory medical examination (physical, sports physical) within six months before initial participation in any practice, competition, out-of-season conditioning voluntary summer workouts or tryouts for enrolled students. In subsequent years of participation, schools must obtain an updated medical history within six months before the start of each academic year to determine if additional examinations are needed.
Any licensed medical physician, including the student-athlete's personal physician, may administer or supervise the mandatory medical examination. A nurse practitioner whose state medical licensure allows for health care practice independent of physician supervision may complete the mandatory medical examination.
For returning Washington and Lee University student-athletes, a physical exam is not a requirement unless something in the updated medical history indicates a need for an updated physical exam. Each student will be receiving an email with attachments and a link that will direct them to fill out online pre-participation forms.
The pre-participation forms for first-year student-athletes (any student-athlete who was not a rostered student-athlete on a Washington and Lee University Athletics team) include the following:
