Dear Student-Athlete and Family,

Hope everything is well.  We are excited about the upcoming academic and athletic season.  We are confident the 2008-09 year is going to be the most rewarding of your student-athletic career. 

Below  is a link to a list of some very important forms that need to be read, signed, and returned, so that your participation can begin immediately upon your arrival this upcoming academic and athletic season.  A personal health insurance plan, either an individual plan or family plan that covers intercollegiate athletic participation is required for all student-athletes for the 2008-09 year.  For information regarding approved insurance carriers and other insurance options, please contact Athletic Trainer John Zubal at 678-466-4685. 

The minimal coverage required must include:
- Coverage for accidental athletic injuries, full coverage not required.
- Have a maximum deductible of $1,000.00.
- Have a minimum coverage of $75,000.00. 

Clayton State will continue to carry health insurance that will provide secondary coverage, which will take care of your deductible and expenses over $75,000.00.  This will guarantee that you will have no cost, other than your policy, for injuries incurred as a result of your athletic participation.  Please be aware that no one will be allowed to participate in conditioning, practices or games, until a health insurance plan is on file with the Clayton State Athletic Department. 

The following forms need to be read, signed and returned:
1. Medical Insurance Information Form
2. State of Georgia Waiver
3. Sports Physical Form (For Returning Students and New Students)
4. Medical History Form
5. Substance Abuse/Drug Testing Form
6. NCAA Supplement Report
7. Weight Room Policy and Procedures

* Other forms on our web-site are for your information only and do not need to be returned.*

Please mail forms to:            John Zubal, Athletic Trainer
                                              Clayton  State University Athletics
                                              2000 Clayton State Blvd.
                                              Morrow, Georgia 30260 

We will be providing physical exams for those who wish to wait until their arrival on the following dates and times: 

August   10, 2008                2:00 PM   Athletic Training Room      Fall Sports Teams
August 17, 2008                2:00 PM   Athletic Training Room      All Teams

Please return all of the above forms to the listed address or just give them to John Zubal upon your arrival.  No one will be allowed to participate in conditioning, practices, or games until all the information is on file with the Department of Athletics.
