The biggest change in this form is that parents/guardians must provide written proof of insurance when they submit this form. Students will not be allowed to participate/tryout for any athletic team without the Champaign Unit 4 athletic participation form AND proof of insurance submitted to the athletic directors along with a current sports physical. The attachment is for parents/guardians to print and then submit, which is why we will no longer refer to the form as the yellow form. If you have any questions please contact your child's athletic director.
