Online Registration System and Physicals
For those new to the online registration process, all athletic registration and payment are done through the online registration system (link is included below). We require online registration and information for all of our athletes, and we require an up-to-date physical for each athlete, which is done every two years and is something you can include when you register your athlete online. Without either one of these steps completed, athletes will not step on the practice field or court. We provide our coaches a list of cleared athletes each day. 

If you can’t remember when your athlete had their last physical, you can email Natasha Yanchuk in our front office at natasha.yanchuk@pcschools.org. She can assist you with a date for your athlete. Physicals are required for both High School and Middle School Athletes!
