General Info

2025 ATHLETIC TRY-OUT INFORMATION
MAKOS! 
To try out for any team at MAST Academy, students must complete a new MDCP-S Athletic Physical Form FM-3439, submit a "normal" EKG clearance (from EKG provider) and pay the athletic insurance.
 
🩺 Medical Clearance Requirements
 

In alignment with district policy and the forthcoming statute, all student-athletes must:

  • Complete an EKG and submit the M-DCPS Cardiology Reportin its entirety to the athletics office (One EKG is good for 4 years).
  • Ifthe EKG results are abnormal, the ECG-EKG Screening ABNORMAL Documentmust also be completed in full and submitted to the athletics office.

 Two documents are required for EKG clearance:

  1. M-DCPS Cardiology Report(mandatory for all students).
  2. ECG-EKG Screening ABNORMAL Document(required only if results are abnormal).

The intent is clear: No student will be deemed eligible for athletic participation without proper medical clearance. Athletic trainers are not responsible for interpreting results; their role is solely to ensure that clearance documentation is on file.

M-DCPS Abnormal Clearance Form

 
Recognizing the rights of parents/guardians, this Opt-Out Form provides families the opportunity to formally decline participation in the EKG screening program. Please note:
  • Parents who elect this option must complete and sign the attached form.
  • Athletic Directors are responsible for filing the completed form with the student’s physical examination documentation for the current school year.
  • These forms must be kept in a secure location as part of the student’s eligibility file, serving as proof and documentation of the family’s decision to opt out.

If you are unable to attend our free school physicals, then you must complete and turn in a new physical on your own. This includes having all pages signed, dated, notary page completed, and the Physician Signature/Stamp dated AFTER June 6th, 2025.
Students must also have purchased (BEFORE participation) the interscholastic athletic insurance $18 (non-refundable) for the 25–26 school year which can be found on OSP beginning July 14th, 2025.
Physicals are to ONLY be submitted to the Athletic Trainer or Athletic Director, as they must be reviewed for approval. Do NOT turn in physicals to the office, coaches or any other personnel.
 
 
Coaches have FINAL say on deadlines for physical and insurance submissions
