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 registration 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>

Frequently Asked Questions:

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, incomplete, 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

Incomplete = 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 Incomplete, Pending (aka everything done and waiting for ADs
to check grades and physical), 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 <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.

   Donate to the Berkeley Athletic Fund!
   <https://www.berkeleyathleticfund.net/>. You will also 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. BAF meets once a month. CONTACT BAF
   <https://www.berkeleyathleticfund.net/contact> for more info
