Wellesley College Athletic Training Walk-On/ Tryout Release



Wellesley College Athletic Training Walk-On/ Tryout Release

This is a preliminary medical history form for tryouts/ walk-ons. If selected for the team, you will be required to have a PPE (pre-participation exam) with the athletic trainers as soon as possible after your selection. Please note! Effective August 1, 2007, the NCAA passed a bylaw stating that any athlete who tries out for an athletic team must have proof of a recent physical examination by a physician (within six months) before initial participation. If you have not had a physical within six months, you will not be able to try out until you have one and send us the appropriate documentation. If you have not had a physical in the last six months and are an upperclass student, you must contact the Health Center at x2810 to schedule one prior to trying out, or schedule one with your personal physician. If you are an upperclass student and have had a physical in the last six months, you will need to obtain a copy of that physical. If you are a first year student, we can obtain your physical date from the Health Center, so you do not need to contact them. There are no exceptions!

I understand that athletic participation is not without risks. Risks of athletic participation include but are not limited to significant joint or bone injury, brain or spinal cord injury, internal organ injury and death. I am willing to accept these risks and will not hold Wellesley College responsible for any injuries I sustain while participating in this intercollegiate tryout. Furthermore, I understand that this is not a medical examination, only a basic screening of general health to participate in a tryout.

All athletes are required to show proof of medical insurance before participating in any physical activity. Do not forget to enclose a photocopy of both sides of your current medical insurance card! Families are urged to check with their insurance carriers to be certain that athletically related injuries and illnesses while away from home will be covered. If the policy will not cover a dependent while away, or will not cover medical and dental expenses in full, the college strongly recommends families purchase the college insurance policy as additional coverage. The athletic department does not carry personal health insurance for student-athletes. The purchase of acceptable health insurance is the sole responsibility of the student-athlete and/or her family. For more information on the college’s medical insurance option, go to Please be assured that all medical and insurance information received are confidential.
