Register for a Sport
To be eligible practice or play in a sport at RHS, you must turn in athletic paperwork each year to the Main Office.
- Read all sections of the forms.
- Be sure both parents/guardians and athletes sign them, where appropriate.
- Students who turn in paperwork after the due dates are not guaranteed that they will be able to turn out for the first day of practice.
- Athletic paperwork does not carry over from one school year to another. New paperwork must be completed for each new school year.
- Turn your paperwork into the Main Office. Do not turn your paperwork in to the coaches!
- Only physicals are good for two years.
A complete set of forms must be completed by each athlete every year. Return these forms to the Main Office by the paperwork due date for your sport. Make sure you read all sections of the forms and have the appropriate signatures on each form.
You may complete your sports paperwork to cover all three sports seasons, eliminating the need to complete forms except for new emergency information forms for each individual season.
Students must submit a complete athletic packet including all required forms with the appropriate signatures and payment for fees, fines and activity cards before athletes will be allowed to practice or play.

Eligibility
It is the responsibility of each athlete to know the eligibility requirements for participating in sports at Roosevelt. Those athletes who break the rules/requirements KNOWINGLY OR NOT place their ENTIRE TEAM in jeopardy of possible forfeiture of games or championships. Don't let this happen to you and your teammates. Know the rules and follow them. Check with your coach or the Athletic Director if you have any questions about your eligibility. Maintaining a 2.0 GPA the ENTIRE time you are competing, attendance in ALL classes on game days, completion of ALL athletic paperwork, and not participating in practice or games if on suspension are examples of rules that need to be followed by all student athletes to maintain their eligibility for athletics.
Athletic Fees, Activity/Athletic Cards and Fines

The completed physical form must have the appropriate examiner, student and parent/guardian signatures when it is turned in.
Athletic physicals are good for 24 months. An athlete will be ineligible if the physical date expires in mid-season. It is the athlete's responsibility to make sure to turn in a new physical before the current physical expiration date.
Middle school athletic physicals being used by incoming freshman must not expire before the end of the sports season in which they will be participating.
