Required Paperwork

1. IHSAA Pre-Participation Physical signed April 1, 2024, or later by a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician’s assistant.
2. Parent completion of FinalForms Online Forms** including consent, travel, and code of conduct forms.
3. Student Athlete completion of FinalForms Online Forms**

** You will be able to tell if the forms have been completed by looking in your Final Forms account and noting the color of the “Forms Icons”. Green icon means the forms are completed, red icon means they are not.

Where do I find the Physical Exam form?

• Log in to your FinalForms account and view your student’s area (figure below).
• Be sure health-related areas are completed for the student. (#3 in figure below)
• Click on #4 PPE Medical and a pre-filled form will be available for printing. (Be patient it may take a moment).
• Take the Physical Examination page to your physical. Have it completed by medical personnel and signed by all parties, to be returned to BCHS.
• The other pre-filled pages can be given to your medical examiner for their records.
• The last page, Release and Consent Certificate, can be discarded. It was completed in Final Forms.

What do I do with my COMPLETED Physical Examination?

Your completed IHSAA physical form can be uploaded into the Final Forms software or submitted to the Athletic Office.

• To upload: Scan the document or take a high-quality cell phone photo and upload it to your student’s profile in FinalForms. Use #5 button (see figure below) in the student’s record. Try to give the document a descriptive title with the student’s name and the current year. Thank you!

• To submit the paper to BCHS: Please bring it to the BCHS Athletic Office. Physical paperwork should not be given to coaches or athletic trainers.

Tech Tips

• For the best online experience, use a laptop, desktop, or mobile device rather than a cell phone.
• Student BCHS emails can be used in the software.
• When parents have all their forms completed, the system will automatically email your student to create his/her account to sign their forms.
• Please update the software if there is a change in medical or emergency information.
• Parents will receive an email notification from the system when the Athletic Trainer has updated a Medical Note for the student.
• If you don’t receive your initial setup confirmation email through the system, look in your spam folder and mark as ‘Not Spam’. If you still experience problems, contact the FinalForm support team at support@finalforms.com
