Ridge High School Winter 2025-26 Athletic Registration Information
Ridge High School has moved to electronic registration and submission of forms for all athletic programs. Students that intend to participate in Winter 2025-2026 athletics at Ridge High School are asked to complete the following by October 27, 2025.
Please note: All pages of the athletic physical form must be scanned and uploaded as one document.
NO registrations will be accepted after the first game of the season (December 9, 2025).

Please follow the steps below in order to complete your child's registration.

1. Register Online via Genesis. (Registration opens October 7, 2025)

2. Have your child's examining physician complete the NJ State mandated forms.

Please see the FORMS HERE. There are multiple pages to this form:

History Form: This page must be completed and signed by a parent prior to the student’s examination and submitted to your own provider/examiner. It must be kept by your provider in their office. 

Physical Examination Form: This page must be completed by the provider/examiner and must be kept on file in their office.

***Medical Eligibility Form: This page must be completed by your examiner and then submitted to the school via the Genesis. This is the ONLY page that needs to be submitted to us.

Please note that you cannot use any old versions of NJ State forms (Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination Form).

3. If your child’s examination was done more than 90 days before the start date of the new season, a Health History Update Form must be completed by the parent and submitted to the school via Genesis.
Some examinations cannot be done, due to insurance requirements, unless it has been a year from the last exam. If that is the case, your choice is #2 or #3 above. While we understand this issue, we are reviewing hundreds of forms and so we cannot guarantee that your forms will be reviewed and cleared if you submit them after October 27, 2025.

All forms that are submitted will be reviewed by the District Nursing Coordinator and a District Physician. Please be patient as this process takes about 2 weeks. If there is some medical question or the form is incomplete, parents will receive an email describing our request.

After the District Physician reviews and approves the form, Genesis will provide a notation for parents and students showing that the student is cleared for the season’s athletic participation. A message and green checkmark will appear on your child’s Genesis account:   ✅   Cleared for Winter Sports

4.  All first time high school athletes, incoming freshmen, and rising juniors must also complete IMPACT cognitive testing in order to be cleared for participation. Marching Band and Unified Sports participants are exempt from this requirement. Please see the information on the Ridge Athletics IMPACT Testing page for information on how to login and do the test.

Again, you must only submit the Medical Eligibility Form and a Health History Update Form to us via the Genesis registration DOCUMENT UPLOAD Form that will be published on Tuesday, October 7th.
