Registration Process

Step 1: Register on ArbiterSports

Students must be registered on ArbiterSports. Create an account if you are new to FamilyID, or log in if you are already a member of FamilyID.

Step 2: Provide a copy of a current, annual physical

A student must have a physical examination on file with the athletic office which has been administered by a licensed Massachusetts medical physician, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant, to be eligible to participate in athletics (including tryouts). A physical examination is valid for 395 days (13 months). 

A STUDENT WHOSE PHYSICAL EXAM EXPIRES DURING A SEASON WILL BECOME INELIGIBLE THE DAY IT EXPIRES; THEY MUST SUBMIT A NEW PHYSICAL BEFORE THE START OF THE NEXT DAY TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE PLAYING.
