HEALTH REQUIREMENTS FOR ST. BARNABAS STUDENT-ATHLETES

SPORTS PHYSICALS - All students who participate in the St. Barnabas Parish Athletic Program (including intramural Saturday Soccer and Junior Basketball) must have either an annual Sports Physical or Medical Form on file that authorizes sports participation. Please submit a completed form to the school for each participant prior to participation in the first program activity (practice, game, or event) of the school year.

CONCUSSION PROTOCOL - Student health and safety is of utmost importance.  St. Barnabas Parish follows the guidelines of the CDC Heads Up Initiative.  Each school year, all St. Barnabas School student-athletes in Grades 3 - 8 participate in the free-of-charge concussion screening.  Screenings are conducted during the school day, and results are accessible to parents/guardians through the screening evaluators.  Students and parents/guardians can learn more about the IESA Concussion Protocol HERE and the CDC Heads Up initiative HERE.
