All required forms and physicals need to be submitted through FinalForms, reviewed, and cleared before the start of the season, and there’s a very short window to accomplish that.
Once those forms are submitted, our school nurse must individually review each athlete's health forms and physical to make sure they are medically cleared to participate. With a large number of athletes registering at the same time, having everything completed by the dates below will give our Health Office enough time to properly review each athlete before practices begin. The deadlines are:
MODIFIED BOYS & GIRLS BASKETBALL– Form available: Sunday, October 4, 2026; FinalForms Deadline: Monday, October 19, 2026; Season Starts: Monday, November 2, 2026
JV & VARSITY WINTER SPORTS (Boys & Girls Basketball, Boys & Girls Wrestling, Indoor Track)– Form available: Sunday, October 18, 2026; FinalForms Deadline: Monday, November 2, 2026; Season Starts: Monday, November 16, 2026
MODIFIED WINTER 2 SPORTS (Modified Volleyball & Modified Wrestling)– Form available: Sunday, December 13, 2026; FinalForms Deadline: Monday, December 28, 2026; Season Starts: Monday, January 11, 2027

Thank you for your help getting all our winter sports athletes signed up and ready for the season! If you have any questions regarding winter sports, FinalForms, or the registration process, please contact Coach Murray at Kmurray@Delhischools.org.
