The following steps must be fulfilled by Cheerleader applicants for try-outs:
- Every applicant at his/her own expense must have performed a medical physical and complete the Medical Form.
- Every applicant must present proof of medical insurance completing the "Student-Athlete Insurance" form and providing a photocopy of the health insurance and prescription drug card(s) which cover(s) you.
- All forms must be returned to Indiana University Athletics by March 27, 2020. These individuals are not allowed to participate in any organized Cheerleader Squad activities until the medical packet has been reviewed by the Director of Sports Medicine and clearance given to the individual. The final decision for a person's physical qualifications and participation in the Indiana program or reason for rejection rests solely with the Sports Medicine director. The Sports Medicine Department is not liable for any injuries or illnesses that may occur when cheerleaders have not been cleared medically.
- For those individuals who were part of the Cheerleading during the previous season and again made the roster, they must have a return physical performed through the Sports Medicine Department in August prior to attending their annual Summer Camp.
- During the season of competition, the name of any Cheerleader who is added to the roster must be given to the Sports Medicine Department within 24 hours, and that person must complete the Sports Medicine Department's medical packet and be cleared by the Director of Sports Medicine before any level of participation may occur.
Any preliminary activities similar to try-out workouts or camps are not a part of the Departmental Program; therefore, such activities are not covered by these policies.
Applicants must have the following information turned into Sami Polson (Sports Medicine, Assistant Athletic Trainer) to be considered for our teams: tryout application, the medical history questionnaire, the medical physical examination – with all required blood work and required sickle cell testing, the proof of medical insurance (student-athlete insurance form) with a photocopy of the health insurance and prescription drug card(s) which cover(s) you. Once you have mailed or faxed the forms, email Julie Horine at jhorine@varsity.com to notify the program of your paperwork being sent.Mail or fax completed forms to:
