Items of Interest

•INSURANCE & MEDICAL TREATMENT:

The school provides each participant in interscholastic athletics with insurance coverage during his/her sport season during scheduled practices and contests; however, family policies would be used first for any injury during scheduled practices and contests. Medical costs above those allowed by family policies will be assumed by the school policy within any specified policy limitations. (Must be filed within 90 days) The trainer or coach must sign the claim form. The parent/guardian is responsible for obtaining and submitting the claim form to the appropriate medical facility for treatment of any injuries incurred by the athlete in which a school insurance policy would apply. I understand that in case of injury, the school is responsible for first aid treatment only.

PLEASE NOTE: After treatment of any injury requiring medical attention by a physician, the student must return the MIAA clearance form signed by a duly registered physician to the trainer before he/she may return to practice and competitions.

•EQUIPMENT:

I understand that equipment issued is the property of the Billerica School Department and the responsibility of the student athlete. Equipment is to be returned within five (5) days of the close of the season or the student becomes responsible for current replacement costs.

•MIAA COMPREHENSIVE PHYSICAL:

All students must pass a physical examination within thirteen months of the start of each season. Comprehensive physicals must be submitted to the athletic trainer's office for clearance. No candidate will be allowed to attend or participate without a clearance issued by the athletic trainer. Student athletes are encouraged to take advantage of the free after school sport physicals given each June, November and March.
