Tryouts - Spring 2026
Important information regarding physicals, sportsmanship meetings, and spring sports tryouts.
*All student athletes currently participating in a winter sport are required to complete their winter season before trying out for a spring sport. Students should notify the spring coach of their intent to try out. *
The athletic department needs team managers for all spring sports/all levels. Please contact Ms. Joyce if you are interested. cjoyce@msjnet.edu
Physicals
All physicals must be electronically uploaded to Healthy Roster even if one is on file with the school nurse. All students without a HealthyRoster profile must establish one by completing the JotForm located on the school's website under Athletics/Sportsmedicine/Healthy Roster.
HealthyRoster Requirement Checklist:
- A physical dated after May 18th, 2025 is required to be uploaded into this profile before they will be allowed to try out for a team.
- Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk located under the Documents tab of the athlete’s HealthyRoster profile.
- Emergency Contact and Travel Permission forms located under the Documents tab of the HealthyRoster profile.
Video tutorials, resources, and explanation of Healthy Roster required documents/features can be found on the sports medicine page of our school website: https://www.msjnet.edu/athletics/sports-medicine
If your insurance only allows a physical every two years, or you are not due for a new physical, we accept Patient First or Minute Clinic physicals. This will satisfy the requirements for participation in athletics.
