Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Are there any “open gyms,” “open fields,” weightroom slots, and/or
“captain’s workouts” going on that I can attend to get in shape for tryouts?

A: Yes, this info was sent out in a previous e-tree message
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXb67q2-c9GiJAhK5QJFC_7LP8nuwafFKeeMYUIyoHY/edit?usp=sharing>
and
is on posted on our website <http://berkeleyhighathletics.org>

Q: I play a winter sport that still has practices and games during the week
of 2/10. What should I do?

A: Contact the coach
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yIFJJGF1qmhf7o5czI8r80ObMHOSlugW5BABOxpG89Q/edit?usp=sharing>
of
the SPRING 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: I want to change the spring sports I’m registered for (either eliminate
sports or change to a different one); how do I do that?

A: Email athleticdirector at berkeley.net and tell us what you’d like changed
and we’ll take care of it.

Q: What do all the Home Campus codes mean (pending, in progress, denied,
cleared)

A: We're going through rosters daily and checking physicals and grades.
NOTE: check spam/junk folders if you’ve received no recent notifications
from Home Campus

Pending = a completed registration we haven’t checked yet

In Progress = an incomplete registration lacking uploads (the physical) or
signatures

Denied = Something is wrong (bad or missing physical; grades).

Cleared = Good to go for tryouts

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

A: Go to https://www.homecampus.com/login <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.

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: My physical expires during the season

A: Please get a new one! (see next question if your insurance carrier won’t
schedule a new appt in the short time frame)

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?authuser=0>.
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
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xWwc01aHArfHK4fyY-JzYDjZw4ahCH17/view>.

Q: What happens if I'm not cleared by the first day?

A: You cannot practice/participate. Most spring teams have competitive
tryouts and this can impact your chances of making the team. Contact coaches
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yIFJJGF1qmhf7o5czI8r80ObMHOSlugW5BABOxpG89Q/edit?usp=sharing>
ASAP
if you have extenuating circumstances

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

A: Please contact coaches
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yIFJJGF1qmhf7o5czI8r80ObMHOSlugW5BABOxpG89Q/edit?usp=sharing>
immediately
to discuss make-up options if you have scheduling conflicts.

Q: How can I support BHS Athletics?

A: Amazing question! There are several ways:

   1.

   Volunteer for team jobs - coaches
   <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yIFJJGF1qmhf7o5czI8r80ObMHOSlugW5BABOxpG89Q/edit?usp=sharing>
   will have preseason meetings and be soliciting help for tasks ranging from
   team parent, drivers, snack coordinators, uniform coordinators, scoreboard
   operators, etc.
   2.

   opportunity to donate during the clearance process. BAF helps support
   coaching stipends and funds capital projects, team travel, uniforms and
   equipment.
