If you created a student account last year, that account is still active, and you will only need to complete the forms and upload a UIL Physical dated within the year of the end of the season the athlete wishes to participate in.

The attached Kick Off Letter will walk you through the process of how to create a parent account and a SEPARATE student account for all student-athletes in your home. Since forms will be completed and signed digitally in the new platform, it is required that all athletes have their own account, to which the parent account will be linked. An email address OR phone number can be used as the username at time of account creation, and whichever is selected will receive notifications specific to the student athlete’s participation (notifications about forms that need completed, practice/game schedules, cancellations, etc.). The two-account authentication process not only helps us comply with COPPA, but it also serves as an opportunity for the parent and athlete(s) to take ownership over their participation in sports. A quick account creation and completion of the pre-participation forms registers your athlete for the entire year, as opposed to having to re-register or re-certify your athlete every season.

The attached Big Teams Parents & Student Getting Started Guide outlines the process for completing pre-participation forms AFTER parent and student accounts have been created. Please follow the step-by-step instructions, as this document will help you input emergency contacts, link accounts, select the sports each student-athlete will be participating in, and complete and sign all digital forms.
