Step 1: Final Forms Registration

Complete the Final Forms registration. Parent/Guardian initiates the process by clicking the blue button indicating “switch to 2024 – 2025 registration” then update forms.  A parent/guardian must create an account first, then add the student – athlete. For fall, winter, and spring sports additional paperwork will be required for student – athletes who are in running start, attend Talley High School/are Home Schooled, are a transfer student, or that are ineligible due to a hardship and need a WIAA eligibility appeal. For additional support please view the parent playbook (parent playbook – Espanol). Note, you only need to create one profile/account (not a new one each year), please make sure there is a sport selected, and that all forms and documents are completed and signed.

Step 2: Athletic Physical

Each student – athlete must have and upload a current athletic physical into Final Forms. Print the Medical History Form, Physical Exam Form and Medical Eligibility Form. Take all three forms to your doctors appointment and upload the completed Medical Eligibility Form only to your Final Forms account. Athletes can receive an athletic physical from their primary care provider or any licensed medical care provider, they are valid for two years, and must not be set to expire prior to or during a season. Athletic physicals are available to be done in the HealthPoint clinic at RHS, to schedule an appointment call 425.424.6310.
