2026 Fall Sports Information

It's an exciting fall athletic season at Carolina Day School! Whether students are joining a team for the first time or returning to compete again, CDS Athletics is a great way to build skills, friendships, and Wildcat pride.

Below you’ll find fall sports information, tryout dates, and the required Athletic forms. 

Athletic Forms

As an NCISAA and CDS requirement for athletic participation, families of middle and upper school student-athletes must complete the following forms prior to participating in preseason activity. 

• 2026-2027 NCISAA Pre-Participation Physical Exam Form Any child that wishes to participate in the CDS athletic program must have an updated yearly pre-participation physical in their Magnus Health Portal. Students will not be allowed to participate in any CDS practice/match/game without this document. The form must be filled out by a physician, either the student’s pediatrician or at any local urgent care or minute clinic that completes Sports Physicals. (This form does not take the place of your child’s annual physical or wellness check.) Completed forms must be uploaded to the Magnus Health portal. (We cannot accept paper documentation.)

The rest of the forms are also required and will be collected by coaches at the first practice. Coaches will have extra copies available, and additional forms will also be available through the Athletics Office. As the NCISAA increases its requirements for athletic documentation, this process will help us maintain accurate records and ensure all required paperwork is completed and accounted for.

• PT Solutions Consent to Treat form Carolina Day School partners with PT Solutions to provide a certified athletic trainer at all games and practices. Any student-athlete who will be participating in after school sports will need a signed consent form on file to be treated by our Sports Medicine team. 
• Sudden Cardiac Death Information and Acknowledgement Form This form provides information for the student and parents on the rare occurrence of sudden cardiac death in youth athletes. All student-athletes and their parents must review, sign, and upload it to the Magnus Health Portal.
• NCISAA Consent to Participate and Medical Release Form The NCISAA consent to participate and Medical Release Form is required prior to participating in athletics for Carolina Day.
• Gfeller-Waller Concussion Awareness Act Form To help ensure the safety of our student-athletes, we have implemented a concussion management protocol following the Gfeller-Waller Concussion Awareness Act. All student-athletes and their parents must review the Concussion Awareness Act form, sign it, and upload it to the Magnus Health Portal. 
  • Additionally: All students who are participating in an impact sport need to establish a yearly concussion baseline prior to their first game of the season. To ensure your child is eligible to participate in his or her first game of the season, here are the instructions to guide parents through SWAY baseline concussion testing at home: 26-27 Fall SWAY concussion testing instructions

Athletic Forms are due by August 1!

NCISAA protocol states that all MS, JV, and Varsity student-athletes are required to have a current Pre-Participation Physical Exam Form (sports physical) on file prior to participating in any school sanctioned athletic practices, training or games.

Families can get ahead this summer by scheduling sports physicals, which will be due August 1. The sports physical is linked below so you can bring it to your physician's appointment. We’ll share additional information this summer about athletics registration and how to upload this form, and other required health forms, to Magnus.
