ATHLETE HEALTH HISTORY & RELEASE FORM (HHR) IS NOW DIGITAL FOR THIS LOCAL PROGRAM!
This Local Program is now piloting the NEW online system! The new system stores athlete information in digital format, making it easier to complete forms, update information, and stay current.
Going forward, new athletes and current athletes as they renew will complete their HHR (Health History & Release) form and related documents ONLINE.
- The online HHR form replaces the previous paper HHR form.
- The HHR expires annually. However, a physical exam and a physician’s signature are no longer required, making the annual renewal process much easier.
- Athletes may complete the online application independently, or a parent/guardian may assist them.
- Once the Local Program receives a complete HHR and all required information, the athlete will be eligible to participate in practices and competitions. The athlete will sign up for a specific sport each season.
- Use the COE website link below to create your account and complete the online HHR.
- Refer to the guides below for step-by-step instructions on creating your account and completing your profile.
- Contact our Local Program team if you need assistance.

Exceptions are possible on a case by case basis but not for vacations or other non-illness choices.
Clothes/Jewelry:
- Please wear clean, comfortable clothes.
- Please avoid anything that might be offensive to your teammates.
- Please wear modest clothing – nothing too revealing.
