2. Submit a PIAA Section 6 CIPPE Physical Form for their 1^st sport season of the school year (must be dated May 1^st, 2024 or later). This only needs to be completed once for the 2024-25 school year.

Some doctors may require the PIAA Section 5 (health history) to complete the physical.  We do not need this form turned into us. The PIAA Section 5 is located under “Forms/Info” at

Print and take the Section 6 form to your physical (and the Section 5 form if your doctor requires it). Your physician must complete the entire PIAA Section 6 form, with a valid date and signature (if missing the form is invalid). If "other medical recommendations" are listed on the physical by examining physician, please have them completed & include a doctor's clearance for that recommended evaluation/treatment. Scan and submit your completed Section 6 CIPPE form to ojratc@ojrsd.net or mail a hard copy to:

3. Complete a current Impact Baseline Assessment if needed

            Baseline Impact Test Assessment:

If your Impact test is NOT up to date you will receive an email from either James Blake, Brian Falencki, or Kristin Paisley with a private link to complete your baseline assessment virtually. All 7^th, 9^th, and 11^th-grade student-athletes are required to have a new baseline assessment completed for their 1st sports season of the school year. If a current 8^th, 10^th or 12^th-grade student did not participate in a sport last school year, they must also have a new baseline assessment completed. These communications will go out after you have completed your registration.  Please note: athletes will do a baseline concussion test whether their sport is deemed contact or non-contact.

If you have questions or concerns please contact James Blake, Brian Falencki, and Kristin Paisley at ojratc@ojrsd.net or Dora Gallagher at dogallagher@ojrsd.net.

Thanks!
