ATHLETIC REGISTRATION PROCEDURE

2022-2023

Before any student-athlete can participate in tryouts, the following requirements must be met:

• The parents/guardians are responsible for completing an online registration through FamilyID and ensuring that any and all medical information concerning your child's health, medical concerns, injuries, medications and allergies are reported to the Athletic Department & Coaches.  The email address for the primary FamilyID account owner must belong to a parent/guardian for the registration to be valid.
• The parents/guardians and student athletes must read and agree to the Co-Curricular Expectations on the FamilyID registration page.
• All students must have a copy of a valid physical on file in the athletic office. Physicals for returning student athletes must be dated within two years of tryouts.  All incoming students and those students who have not participated in athletics prior to this upcoming season must submit to the athletic office a copy of a physical that is dated on or after July 1, 2021.  It is recommended students submit recent physicals when they receive them.  Physicals can be uploaded directly on the registration page in FamilyID or dropped off at the athletic office.
• All students must be academically eligible. Merrimack School District policy is that a student must have earned a 1.67 Grade Point Average (GPA) and have passed a minimum of four academic classes in the previous marking period.
• All student athletes are encouraged to take the Impact test prior to participating in school athletics. This is a cognitive baseline test that will aid our medical staff in the event of a concussion. Impact test is good for two years.  (Non-contact sports are excluded).
• If you are a recent transfer to MHS (incoming 9th graders excluded), please complete the Transfer Affidavit and turn it into the Athletic Office prior to the first day of tryouts/practice.
• If you are homeschooled or attend a charter school, please complete the Charter/Home School Student Form and turn it into the Athletic Office along with proof of residency prior to the first day of tryouts/practice.

ImPACT Testing

ImPACT testing will take place on Monday, August 8th through Friday, August 12th from 8:30 AM until 2:30 PM at Merrimack High School.  ImPACT testing is recommended for all athletes competing in a contact sport: Cheer, Field Hockey, Football, Soccer, and Volleyball. 

The ImPACT Test is a cognitive baseline test that will aid our medical staff in the event of a concussion.

The ImPACT test is good for two years, so not every athlete will need to be tested.  If you have any questions, please contact the Athletic Office.

A full schedule will be developed and sent to the coaches as we get closer to those dates.  If you are on vacation that week, we will get your athlete in during the first week of practice/tryouts.
