Students must complete all digital forms and have them approved by the Athletic Director on BigTeams before they are eligible to participate in any physical activity related to Academic Magnet Athletics. One approved, all forms, remain valid for the duration of the school year for which they are submitted, expiring yearly on June 30th. Completing and having Pre-Participation Registration Forms approved by the Athletic Director does not guarantee a student-athlete a place on their chosen team(s) but is necessary in order to try out.

Parents and students must create separate accounts, linked through Big Teams, using different emails and/or mobile numbers. The Athletic Director cannot approve any forms submitted by a student until they have been approved by a parent/guardian through whom the account is linked. This is a safety feature of BigTeams to protect the minors’ identity.

Students must be sure to create accounts using accurate information, including their official name from school registration, date of birth, high school graduation year, and school. 

If you need assistance with Big Teams or need more information, please click SELF HELP at the top of the main BigTeams page after you create an account, consult the help documents, or contact the Athletic Director.

Forms:

Physical Form.pdf – Please note these must be dated on or after April 1 of the current calendar year in order to be valid for the current school year. Sports physicals can be obtained at most pediatrician offices, primary care doctors, and walk-in clinics. The only page that needs to be uploaded is the page the doctor signs;  the history form will be completed digitally during account creation.

9th graders only:

Academic Magnet falls under special guidelines related to all magnet schools. As a result, no freshmen can compete in any VARSITY sport until the appropriate form is submitted and approved by the Athletic Director. No action is needed by parents/guardians to get this step taken care of.

10th-11th grade transfer students only:

Any 10th-12th grade student that transfers to Academic Magnet must also complete a supplementary eligibility form in order to be eligible to compete under SCHSL rules. No 10th-11th grade may compete in any Academic Magnet sport until this form is completed and provided to the Athletic Director for evaluation, submission, and approval.

Athletic Insurance: 

Charleston County School District requires all student-athletes to carry athletic insurance through A-G Administrators. This plan serves as a secondary plan to supplement any medical coverage the student already has. Athletic insurance is due once yearly and covers the student through the entirety of the school year, regardless if they play one sport or multiple sports. The cost is $53/year and can be paid on RevTrak.

In the event of an injury in which any medical care or appointment is necessary, please contact the Athletic Trainer to complete and file a claim immediately. Parent’s/guardians are responsible for submitting athletic-related claims to by email or through their secure portal.
