WINTER SPORTS BEGIN on October 30th:

Athletes must be cleared
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Resources/athlete-registration>
to
participate

Yes, fall sports are in high gear. However, we're closing in on the start
to winter sports! Please read the following information if you intend to
try out for a winter sport.

Week of October 30th tryout/practice schedule is still being worked out

*In all likelihood, *all winter sport tryouts will begin at 4PM on October
30th. Keep an eye out for future announcements detailing specific tryout
locations and times via the school's e-tree system and our website
<http://berkeleyhighathletics.org/>.

Athletes must be CLEARED
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Resources/athlete-registration>
to
participate in practices.

All athletes (including returning athletes) must have a valid physical and
register online through our clearance system called Home Campus. To
register and learn all about the clearance process, go to:
https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Resources/athlete-registration
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Resources/athlete-registration>

INFORMATION NEEDED TO COMPLETE CLEARANCE:

Clearance paperwork takes about 20 minutes to complete. Have your Student
ID number and health insurance information ready, including policy number
and take a picture of and scan your physical in order to upload it into
Home Campus (please make sure the physician signs, dates, and stamps it)

*Frequently Asked Questions:*

*Q:* I've done the Home Campus clearance but it still says *pending*

*A: *We're checking physicals for errors as they come in, however we cannot
officially clear student-athletes until quarter 1 grades post. Therefore,
expect notification of clearance sometime between 10/20 and 10/27.

*Q: *My physical expires during the season

*A: *Please get a new one in the next 2 weeks

*Q: *My physical expires during the season but my insurance won't let me
get a new one until it's been a year since the last one

*A: *We recommend going to a local clinic, click here
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Resources/athlete-registration/local-clinics>
for
some options. Some charge as little as $25. You can go to your family
physician through your insurance over the summer to reset the 1 year clock
to a more convenient time in the year. Here is a downloadable copy of
our physical
form

.

*Q: *What happens if I'm not cleared by the first day?
*A: *You cannot practice/participate. Many teams have competitive tryouts
and this can impact your chances of making the team. Contact coaches
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/winter-sports> ASAP
if you have extenuating circumstances

*Q:* I play a fall sport that still has practices and games during the week
of 10/30. What should I do?

*A:* Contact the coach
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/winter-sports> of
the winter team you wish to play for to arrange a make-up tryout. It is not
safe (or fair) for you to do two rigorous practices in one day. You are
entitled to a make-up tryout but you *must* communicate with the coach
ahead of time.

*Q: *What should I do if I have an unavoidable scheduling conflict with a
tryout day(s)? (other than being a fall athlete)

*A:* Please contact coaches
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/winter-sports>
immediately
to discuss make-up options if you have scheduling conflicts.

*Q: *I don't remember seeing an email about my clearance status. How can I
check if I'm *In Progress* (incomplete), *Pending* (everything done and
waiting for ADs to check grades), *Denied* (something is wrong with my
physical), or *Cleared*?
*A: *Go to https://www.homecampus.com/login

1) Log in using the email and password you set
2) This will take you to the "My Student/Athlete Clearances" page.
3) You should see existing registrations under "My Student/Athlete
Clearances" - if not, change the year to 2023-2024 and hit search.

Note: check your spam folder if you've never received an email from HOME
CAMPUS

Note: the steps described above will also help you identify if you have
duplicate registrations that can be deleted.

*Q: *I registered before I had my physical ready. I now have it. How do I
upload it?
*A: *To upload your physical, take a picture or scan of it and then,

1) Go to https://www.homecampus.com/login
2) Log in using the email and password you set
3) This will take you to the "My Student/Athlete Clearances" page.
4) Click on the "Files" Icon
5) Upload your physical here and then hit "save and continue"

*Q: *I want to play a spring sport
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/spring-sports>.
What should I do?

*A: *You should also be selecting those sports when you submit your
clearance on HOME CAMPUS. We will clear athletes for those sports after
semester 1 grades post in January. Spring sports
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/spring-sports> begin
on February 5th

*Q: *How can I support BHS Athletics?
*A: *Amazing question! There are several ways:

1) Volunteer for team jobs - coaches
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/winter-sports> will
have preseason meetings and be soliciting help for tasks ranging from team
parent, to drivers, to snack coordinators, to uniform coordinators, to
scoreboard operators, etc.
2) Donate to the Berkeley Athletic Fund!
<https://www.berkeleyathleticfund.net/> You will have an opportunity to
donate during the clearance process. BAF helps support coaching stipends
and funds capital projects, team travel, uniforms and equipment.
3) Come to a BAF meeting or, even better, become a team BAF rep. BAF meets
once a month. CONTACT BAF
<https://www.berkeleyathleticfund.net/contact-us/> for
more info
4) Become a BAF Booster Club member!
<https://www.berkeleyathleticfund.net/fundraising/booster-club/>
5) Be exemplary student-athlete parents/guardians/fans
<https://www.cifncs.org/Sportsmanship/SpCh7_-_Parents_-_Fans_Doing_What-s_Right.pdf>
that
cheer respectfully for both sides, model respect for the rules, officials,
and coaches, and help our student-athletes be the best they can be.
