Sports Registration and Eligibility

 

Athletic Registration

2026-27 Athletic Registration for all fall, winter and spring sports is open.  See below for important eligibility information.

Final Forms sports registration for the 2026-27 school year is separate from school registration. Please register online.

All new families (parents of incoming 9th graders and transfer students) and parents of Lower and Middle Schoolers, please use your email address where it asks for the student's Visitation email address in Final Forms registration. Update accounts to include incoming 9th grade and transfer students' Vis emails once they receive them in August.

Questions? Please contact Lori Byrne, Assistant Athletic Director.

Sports Check-In and Start Dates

We invite all students in grades 5–12 who are planning to participate in a Middle or Upper School sport to attend. Attendance is required for all students in grades 7–12 who plan to try out for an Upper School athletic team. At check-in, per MSHSL guidelines, athletes will receive a bracelet to wear during tryouts. This bracelet tells coaches that the athlete is fully cleared for athletic participation – the athlete must wear or have their bracelet with them each day of tryouts, and participation will not be permitted without it. Bracelets may only be given directly to the athlete.

Thursday, August 13, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Questions? Please contact Lori Byrne, Assistant Athletic Director.

Health Forms

  • Upper School-level student-athletes need a current sports qualifying physical (current within three years). 
  • New students and students (entering grades K, 7 and 9) need a new sports qualifying physical on file with the School Nurse, as well as an Action Plan for any severe allergies or health conditions before they are eligible to participate. See the Health Office page for more information regarding specific needs for allergies and other health conditions.
  • Twin Cities Orthopedics is offering free high school sports physicals at 10 locations throughout July and August. Visit TCO's website for details and registration.

Concussion Screening

  • Visitation's Twin Cities Orthopedic Certified Athletic Trainer, will send each student-athlete who needs to complete a concussion screening an email during the first week in August. A screening does not prevent a concussion, so student-athletes will not be withheld from opening practices if it is not yet completed. However, a completed screening is mandatory to compete in the first competition. 
  • Screenings are required for the following high-impact sports:
    • Soccer
    • Swim/Dive
    • Volleyball
    • Alpine
    • Basketball
    • Hockey
    • Lacrosse
    • Softball
    • T&F Pole Vault
    • Screening is available for student-athletes in remaining sports upon request.
