Timber Creek Regional High School Athletics Sign-up & Registration Information
To participate in any sports, band, esports, & weight room at Timber Creek High School, students must complete all of the items in the following checklist. All health forms (Step 2) must be reviewed by the school physician for the student to be cleared to participate. Failing to complete these steps in a timely fashion will delay your child from being cleared to begin practicing with their teams. All forms and directions are on the Timber Creek’s athletic department webpage.
Step 1 – Register Online with the Parent Access Portal in Genesis
Timber Creek’s Athletic Department uses the Genesis Parent Portal for its Athletic Participation Forms. All forms must be completed by a parent or guardian and completed prior to each sports season (fall, winter & spring). Once logged in, click FORMS at the top, and complete the Optional Sports Participation Form.
If you do not remember your password, you can use the “forgot my password” function. Your username is the email address we have on file in Genesis. Only click it once. Please be aware that the Password reset could take some time, up to 24 hours. For additional Parent Access assistance contact the Counseling office at 856-232-9703 x6053.
Step 2 – Complete All Health Forms
Each student-athlete, band, esports, & weight room must have a complete physical packet turned in to the school nurse and approved by our medical staff. A physical packet is valid if completed within one year of the athletic season’s start date. It is recommended to schedule appointments with the student’s Primary Care Physician well in advance of the physical’s expiration date. All questions pertaining to your child’s health history or physical exam should be directed to our school nurse. Per the NJSIAA, all physical evaluation forms must be reviewed by the school physician for your child to be cleared to begin participation. After all pages of the physical packet have been signed and dated with the appropriate signatures, it can be turned in to the school nurse or the Main office at Timber Creek HS.
If you need a hard copy of the physical forms, you can pick them up from the Athletic Office, Nurse Office, or the front office. You can also print them from the school Website under the Athletic Tab.
Please be aware that completing the registration process and physician’s physical exam does NOT guarantee the athlete’s eligibility. Athletic eligibility is contingent upon:
Completed physical packet paperwork.
A valid physical (good for 365 days)
Academic requirements/credits
Behavioral/conduct requirements
No outstanding fines
Step 3- ImPact Baseline Test
All athletes must complete baseline ImPact testing before being allowed to participate in their sport. ImPact is a computerized concussion evaluation measures that measures verbal and visual memory, processing speed, and reaction time. To most effectively care for athletes who have sustained concussions, it is helpful to compare baseline data to post-concussion data so that nay deficits can be determined, and proper return-to-play decisions can be made.
