Getting Cleared For MSHSAA Sponsored Activities/Sports At Howell

A Step-by-Step Guide to Participating in a MSHSAA Sponsored Activity/Sport

 

  1. ALL STUDENT-ATHLETES ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE ON-LINE REGISTRATION FOR EACH ACTIVITY/SPORT PLAYED
    Register your family below. Use Google Chrome as your Internet Browser when accessing this website.
    Reminder: All physicals must be submitted on these forms. This is mandated by MSHSAA. 
    Returning users: Use the username and password you created during your first family registration. Once logged in, you may click on the "Register" dropdown and register an existing student or add a new student to your family account. Remember to add each sport for each season they will be playing sports. To select more than one sport in that season, hold CTRL and select the sports. Each student should register for a sport that they might be trying out for/playing in that season. 
    The form will auto-populate the answers based on your previously submitted registration. Please review and update the answers such as insurance, medication, diagnoses, emergency contacts, phone numbers, etc. You may log in at any time to your family account if you need a copy of your student's physical packet. 
     
  2. GET A PHYSICAL EXAM
    This is the link to the MSHSAA Physical Packet you need to take with you to the doctor CLICK HERE FOR PHYSICAL LINK.
    If a student intends to play a MSHSAA sponsored activity/sport for Howell, they must have a valid physical on file in the Activities Office prior to participation. Your MSHSAA Physical  may be uploaded to your family athletic registration account. If you do not have a scanner available to upload a PDF of these forms, please bring the physical to the Activities Office so that we can upload them to your student's registration account. Please keep a copy of the full packet for your records.

    Per new MSHSAA guidelines,  All physicals are now valid for a period of two years (730 days) from the date of issue unless otherwise noted by the doctor. For example, if the date of the physical is 3/15/2023, the physical will expire on 3/15/2025. The MSHSAA physical must be completely filled out and signed by a doctor. If any information or signatures are missing, the physical will be returned to be completed. Please check your MSHSAA physical before  uploading it to make sure it is complete. Incomplete paperwork will delay the ability to receive final clearance before the cut off date. 
    All forms must be completed here online & your MSHSAA Physical uploaded (or brought to the Activities Office). This must be completed PRIOR TO THE SPECIFIED FINAL CLEARANCE CUT OFF DATE FOR THAT SEASON.
