FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
My student was or will be registered in SWISD district, what information do I need for them to participate in athletics?
New student registrations will be completed on-line at their campus website. The student will be required to have a physical dated after Feb. 1 of the upcoming enrollment year. Physical forms can be obtained from our website or athletic department; the doctor's office physical forms will not be accepted. You will need to make contact with the head coach of the sport your student would like to participate or try-out for. At that time it will be determined if a Previous Athletic Participation form (PAPF) is required and the information will be emailed to you. Athletic on-line forms will need to be submitted prior to participating in any athletic events which can be found under "Electronic Forms" on our website.

Follow the registration process and inform the head coach or athletic coordinator that your student would like to participate in Summer Strength & Conditioning so we can verify enrollment and receive a temporary student ID number.

How does my student athlete qualify for an athletic letterman jacket? And can it be purchased without qualifying?
An Athlete who participates at the Varsity level for more than half of the season, maintains eligibility the entire season, and ends the athletic season in good standing is eligible for a Varsity honor. Managers, Student Athletic Trainers, support personnel must serve two consecutive seasons in order to letter and be awarded a letter jacket. In individual sports (Swim, Track, Golf, and Tennis) if an athlete places or scores in the District Meet, he or she is eligible. An athletic letterman jacket cannot be purchased without eligibility.
Who can I speak with if I have questions/concerns with my student's coaching?
We ask that you speak with the coach first to ensure any misunderstandings are addressed. If the situation is not resolved, next will be the athletic coordinator of the campus, if no resolution, the assistant athletic directors and lastly the athletic director. We ask that you wait until the next day after a game to schedule a time to speak with the coach. Coaches are asked not to speak about student's with parents directly after games.
