PRE-PARTICIPATION PHYSICAL FORMS

Pre-Participation physical forms must be completed by all prospective varsity student athletes (all new freshman and transfers) and returning student athletes. No student athletes will be allowed to participate in any athletic practices or competition until the pre-participation physical forms are completed and turned into the Compliance Coordinator. The pre-participation physical forms are required not only by Hostos Community College but also the NJCAA and the medical physical must be completed and signed by a doctor. 

Forms Include:

INSURANCE COVERAGE
A copy of the student athlete's current insurance card must be provided on an annual basis and will be kept in the student athlete's medical file. If at anytime during the year the student athlete has a change in their primary insurance carrier, it is the responsibility of the student athlete to submit a copy of the new insurance card to the Compliance Coordinator.  

The Department of Athletics insurance plan is SECONDARY to, or in excess of the personal or family medical insurance coverage, and covers only injuries/illness/accidents resulting from direct participation in a practice or competition of their sport. All medical claims must first be submitted to the student athlete's primary insurance plan before bills can be submitted to the Department of Athletics insurance carrier. Medical bills cannot and will not be paid by Hostos Community College until the student athlete's primary insurance has been utilized and an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) has been obtained. 

Any student athlete who is injured as a result of participating in their sport must IMMEDIATELY report their injury to their coach. Coaches must follow-up with the Director of Athletics to ensure all injuries have been reported. If the injury occurs at Hostos, Public Safety must be notified immediately. 

CONCUSSION POLICY

Student athletes diagnosed with a concussion shall not return to activity for the remainder of that day. The team physician or their designee shall determine medical clearance. To that end, all head injuries, no matter how seemingly insignificant, will be reported to the Director of Athletics immediately. If the head injury occurs at an away event, the coach must call the Director of Athletics as soon as reasonably possible. 

VISITING TEAM INFO

An athletic trainer will be present for all Hostos Community College home athletic contests. If a visiting team will not be traveling with an athletic trainer we ask that you please email us detailing the desiered taping/treatments. We will be happy to assist your athletes as long as all necessary supplies are provided and time allows. 

Hostos Community College will provide your team bench with a training table(s), cooler, water, ice, ice bags and cups. Crutches, AED and other emergency equipment will be present on the sideline behind the home bench.
