All UCSB Sport Club athletes are REQUIRED to have a sport pre-participation examination ANNUALLY. Physicals clearances are valid for 12 months from the examination date.
Using the forms provided below, this pre-participation exam can be done with your primary care provider at home, with a provider at a local Santa Barbara clinic, or with a provider at UCSB Student Health Services (SHS). Please review the steps listed in the category that applies to your situation. There are different instructions for new and returning athletes.
Additionally, all Sport Club athletes must also first complete a baseline concussion test with the Athletic Training staff before initial participation. This is done only once unless you suffer a concussion during Sport Club participation. Please read section on baseline concussion test for further details and clarifications.
If you plan to participate on a Sport Club team this year, plan ahead! Call to book your appointment now to have your exams completed before the deadline. Waiting to book your exams may delay your participation in team activities.
