Try Outs

IT IS recommendED to COMPLETE ALL FORMS BY June/July for
participation in the upcoming academic year For all sport seasons.

 

Please make every effort to attend tryouts, as we cannot guarantee a spot on the team for students who are absent.

Students who wish to participate in Cannon Athletics at the middle school or high school level must have the following forms completed by parents, athletes, and doctors.

Once completed, the forms should be uploaded to your student's Magnus Health account.

Contact Cannon's Athletic Trainer

These forms are good for the entire year and all three seasons of athletics.

Please note, you may utilize your family doctor. However, many health plans prevent a physical from being updated until a twelve-month period has elapsed since the most recent physical. For some athletes, this date occurs in the middle of the season, after this date a 30 day grace period is implemented in order for appointments to be made and the new form being turned in. We highly recommend trying to schedule Athletic Pre-Participation Physicals during the summer months but understand that this is not feasible for all.
