How to Sign Up

Please take a moment to fill out the form linked below so I can create communication rosters to send out details about each team. Practice and competition schedules for each team will overlap, so we restrict our students to one athletic team per season.

Additionally, please keep in mind that Porter-Gaud teams take priority over outside activities. Missing Porter-Gaud practices and games for outside commitments will be reflected in playing time.

Eligibility

All required forms must be completed and submitted by January 20. Your child will not be allowed to participate on the first day of practice until these are completed. The forms can be found on our athletics website under Athletic Forms or by clicking the button below. Documents for students who played a fall or winter sport are up to date, unless their physical expires before the start of the season.

• Access Schooldoc.com by logging into the MyPG parent portal, navigating to the Resources tab and clicking on the SchoolDoc icon. For instructions on how to log in to MyPG, please click here or email helpdesk@portergaud.edu.

• Select the sport(s) of interest for the year and fill out all the required documents.

• Upload a current physical (if your child's most recent physical was prior to April 1, 2025, then they will need a new one).

• Upload a signed inherent risk document.

• Upload a signed concussion awareness form.

All seventh-grade students and new eighth-grade students will need a baseline IMPACT test. Students will receive an email with instructions on how to complete this. If your family is new to Porter-Gaud, parents and caregivers will also receive a copy of the email with instructions.
