Parents and Athletes,

To be eligible to participate in any athletics for the 2008-2009 school year, the athlete must have completed a Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation (CIPPE) after June 1, 2008, and at least six weeks before the start of participation.  CIPPE forms are available in the Athletic Office.

Once completed, the CIPPE is valid for any or all of the three consecutive sports seasons of the 2008-2009 school year – but only for the 2008-2009 school year.  All CIPPE’s completed for the 2008-2009 school year (regardless of when completed during the year) will become invalid after May 31, 2009.  Students who wish to participate the next year (2009-2010) will have to redo the CIPPE procedure again after June 1, 2009.

To take advantage of typical, yearly insurance physical coverage, parents are encouraged to initiate a routine of annual, summer CIPPE completion prior to the start of each school year of anticipated athletic participation. 

Please contact the athletic office at (610) 489-5000 X25054 with any questions.

Sincerely,

METHACTON HIGH SCHOOL

Lee W. Brader
