Transportation Variance Form

2024-2025 Sports Physical Requirement

Grades 6-8

If you have a student in/entering middle school that wishes to participate in athletics, they will need three things before they are allowed to participate for the 2024-25 school year. 

1. Sports Physical: Middle School Athletes must have an updated physical on file each school year. Sports physicals must be dated April 15th, 2024 or later, & can be used for the entire  2024-25  school year. Your athlete may not attend practices or games until a physical is on file. Physicals can be uploaded to Final Forms or emailed to: lawrencebo@tcaps.net

Need a new physical? Download and print the TCAPS physical form here and then call your family physician or the TCAPS Student Health Center at (231-642-5291) to schedule a physical for your child. 

2. Final Forms: Create an account in Final Forms for the 2024-2025 school year, or update your current account.  Visit https://traversecity-mi.finalforms.com/ and be sure to select all of the sports you are interested in joining next school year to ensure you are receiving all of the communications from our staff.

*Please note: An account in Final Forms does not mean you are registered for a sport. 
 

3. Registration & Payment: Current offerings can be found at www.tcaps.net/leap. Registration for most fall sports opens in July; additional information is shared as soon as it is available. Click on the offering and go through the registration process. Once completed, you will receive an email from the Eleyo registration system confirming your registration & payment.
