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 and will check all
the way through 9am on 8/12. Please be patient. Thanks!

Q: My physical expires during the season

A: Please get a new one ASAP.

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

check if I'm In Progress (incomplete), Pending (everything done and waiting

duplicate registrations that can be deleted.

upload it?

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

1) Volunteer for team jobs -

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.
