The student must:

1. Have completed the eligibility packet prior to the first day of practice:

-Verification of health insurance coverage, including insurance policy number and the name, address and phone number of the athlete's parent or guardian.
-Consent to participate and for medical treatment signed by the parent / guardian and the student-athlete.
