Dear Parents/Guardians,
Summer sports registration is now open. If your child will be in grades 9–12 during the 2025–2026 school year and is interested in participating in any school-sanctioned summer athletic practice sessions (June 16th – August 11th), please review the information below and complete the registration process.
No student-athlete will be allowed to begin summer practices until:
They have completed the online registration process (Register Here),
All required medical paperwork has been submitted to the high school nurse, and
They are medically cleared by the school nurse.
Important: This clearance is for the summer practice period only and does not carry over to the fall season.
As part of the registration process, please be sure to select all sports your student-athlete plans to participate in this summer (e.g., football, soccer, volleyball, cross country, etc.). This ensures that your student-athlete is cleared to participate in all selected sports over the summer.
In an attempt to streamline the process there have been a few updates to the Preparticipation Physical Evaluation (PPE) process for athletics in the state of NJ. Please read below:
Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination Forms are still required and are valid for 365 days from the exam date. The physical must be valid at the start of each season. If the current physical expires before the beginning of practice, a new physical is required. However, please note that this form is no longer submitted to the school and should instead be kept on file with your student-athlete’s primary care physician.
The new PPE Medical Eligibility Form is now the only document submitted to the school nurse after completing a new physical. This form must be filled out by your student-athlete’s doctor and then returned directly to the school nurse to confirm medical eligibility for sports participation.
Health History Update Form is now integrated into the Online Sports Registration Process, eliminating the need to submit it as a separate document. When registering your student-athlete for a sport, you will complete the Health History Update within the online platform, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process.
Midland Park now accepts the PPE Medical Eligibility Form in person or via email. Email forms to .abaker@mpsnj.org. Attach the forms to a blank email and include the student’s first name, last name, and sports in the subject line.
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Patrick Clark
