Wells Family Resource Center Summer Camps

Students must be registered online prior to trying out for any sport sanctioned by the NIAA. 1. Create an account at www.aktivate.com. NOTE: Please create only one account. One account will be used throughout high school, regardless if students transfer schools. 2. Click on START/COMPLETE REGISTRATIONS, then NEW REGISTRATION. Click on SELECT SCHOOL, then Nevada, and Wells High School. Click SELECT ATHLETE and then “Add New Athlete” or select a student from the list. Please use the same full legal name the student is registered with at school. Ensure all student(s) and parent(s)/guardian(s) addresses match the school registration system. 3. SELECT YEAR/ SPORT NOTE: It's best to register for all sports the athlete is interested in. You can add sports later in the school year, but you must complete the majority of this process again. If the student-athlete thinks they may be interested in a sport, check that box now. 4. Fill out the GUARDIAN INFO, whoever is listed as Guardian 1 must also be the primary parent/guardian listed in the school’s registration system and must reside at the same address as the athlete. 5. Fill out the HEALTH INSURANCE INFO. 6. NEVADA QUESTIONNAIRE: Click on the NIAA TRYOUT CHECKLIST and answer the questions by checking the boxes, typing your name, and clicking E-SIGN. HIGH SCHOOL CHECK, answer the questions based on your situation. Check YES or NO to each question asked and follow the prompts. Answersto these questions may have you complete a transfer application. The transfer process may tell you the student is ineligible until proof of eligibility is provided, this is normal, and documentation can be submitted later in the process. If your athlete is a freshman, you must complete a NON TRANSFER RESIDENCE VERIFICATION. You will need to provide two current proofs of address and a transcript. If you have moved, a document of abandonment must be provided to show evidence that the prior residence has been vacated. DIVORCED/SEPARATED HOUSEHOLDS: Any student from a divorced or separated household is required to provide a copy of the complete custody agreement, including the judge’s signature page, to prove that the parent the student is residing with has physical custody of the child. All pages of the custody agreement must be included. If the parents have equal physical custody or there are no court documents, the student establishes athletic eligibility with the parent they began ninth grade. Once eligibility is established, the student may not change parent/guardian without being subject to the transfer rules. AFFIDAVIT OF RESIDENCY: There is a question about students living in the attendance zone on an affidavit of residency. This is a unique situation and does not apply to most students. If the family is living in the home of another adult, a hardship application must be completed. 7. Click on ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS. Parents & athletes must read and e-sign all documents acknowledging their understanding and agreement to abide by the documents. FINAL E-SIGNATURE must be completed by the parent and athlete after reading the electronic documents. 8. Click on PHYSICAL DOCUMENTS. NIAA PHYSICAL FORM must be printed out by clicking the DOWNLOAD button. The HISTORY FORM is completed by the parent and athlete prior to the physical exam and the PHYSICAL EXAMINATION FORM is completed by the physician. These two forms are not submitted to the school. The physician completes the MEDICAL ELIGIBILITY FORM (page 7), which must be uploaded back into your Aktivate account by clicking the UPLOAD COMPLETE FORM button. Free scanning apps are available on smartphones if you do not have a scanner. You can also upload clear and unobstructed pictures of this form if necessary. ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY: All student-athletes must be enrolled in a minimum of two semester credits (four classes) during the season(s) they wish to participate. Students must have an unweighted grade point average of 2.0 or better in the grading period prior to trying out for a sport, have passed at least four classes, and failed no more than one class. GPA/credit requirements will again be checked during the season if a grading period ends during that time. All students in ninth grade are eligible until the first grading period grades are posted (middle school grades do not factor into high school eligibility). Once an athlete makes a team, grade checks occur every three weeks during the season. Students must maintain passing grades to remain eligible. Students who don't meet minimum initial eligibility requirements may gain eligibility at an upcoming three-week check with all passing grades. https://www.niaa.com/sports/RMA_for_Parents/parents https://aktivate.helpscoutdocs.com/article/38-how-do-i-begin-a-registration-for-a-sport https://aktivate.helpscoutdocs.com/category/106-niaa https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DChJQ9U-2SKyo_fCeEzwOtXtNFmFF4bD/view https://wells.ecsdnv.net/o/wcs/page/athletics
