Please remember that if your child is planning to participate in a PIAA sport, he or she must have a completed Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Exam (CIPPE - doctor physical) prior to any type of participation on the first official day of the season (including any try-outs). It is important to note that students will not be permitted to try-out, practice or remain at the try-out and/or practice until all items are approved in our online registration system (Form Releaf) to include a completed physical exam.
Prior to any student participating in Practices, Inter-School Practices, Scrimmages, and/or Contests, at any PIAA member school in any school year, the student is required to (1) complete a Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation (CIPPE); and (2) have the appropriate person(s) complete the first six Sections of the CIPPE Form. Upon completion of Sections 1 and 2 by the parent/guardian; Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 by the student and parent/guardian; and Section 7 by an Authorized Medical Examiner (AME), those Sections must be turned in to the Principal, or the Principal’s designee, of the student's school for retention by the school. The CIPPE may not be authorized earlier than June 1st and shall be effective, regardless of when performed during a school year, until the latter of the next May 31st or the conclusion of the spring sports season.
* Please note that many of these sections are completed through the online registration process but the student will need to have a printed copy of Section 6 Health History completed for the doctors review as well as a printed copy of Section 7- The Certification of Authorized Medical Examiner.
These forms can be accessed at the following link:

Once the doctor has cleared the student-athlete and signed section 7, this forms will then be uploaded by the CASD into the student’s account in Form ReLeaf (online registration platform).
In addition to the CIPPE online forms all other online forms will also be required which also includes the Raider Packet that contains our extra-curricular code of conduct and related policies.
