Fall Sport Sign-up Information

Students that are playing a Fall Sport must be signed up via Final Forms (sycamore.finalforms.com). We will not accept paper copies of any forms (except page 3 and 4 of OHSAA Physical Form) 
Follow the steps below to complete the process:
  • The parent will create the account using his/her email address.
  • Please make sure to select the sport in which your child plans to participate.
  • After all forms are filled out, an email will be sent to the student so that he/she can sign necessary forms. (This email will not send until the parent portion is complete). 
  • In order to participate on Day 1 of practice/tryouts, all forms must be complete (will turn green on your page).  
  • Students will turn in Page 3 and 4 of OHSAA Physical Form to their coach on Day 1 (signed by doctor).  
  • If you registered in Final Forms last year, you will need to go on to electronically sign the forms again.  You will not have to fill out the same paperwork again.
