Team Tryout/Walk-On Policy
PUROSE: The Department of Athletic Training is responsible for the health and welfare
of all participants during a practice or competition. This document is to ensure that those
individuals whom have elected to “try-out” for an athletic team at UNCW are in no
immediate physical danger from the rigors that a trial period with the team might
include. Completion of this form indicates that the individual has been seen and cleared
by the UNCW Team Physician for participation in an intercollegiate activity with a team
at UNCW.
POLICY STATEMENT: Every student who expresses an interest to tryout or walk-on
to an athletic team at UNCW must be first sent to the UNCW Compliance Office to
receive a tryout packet. Coaches are encouraged to contact the Department of Athletic
Training and the Compliance Office prior to scheduling an open tryout to help facilitate
the medical screening and documentation completion that will need to occur.
