Intercollegiate Sports

Most practices for intercollegiate sports teams are held in the afternoon after 3 p.m. Therefore, students participating in intercollegiate sports should avoid taking classes that are scheduled to end after 3 p.m. If an evening class must be scheduled, students should utilize Monday nights, if possible. Students should also keep in mind the time it takes to get to and from class and the practice location.

Contact information for each coach can be found on the Department of Athletics' website. If you are interested in being a candidate for ANY SPORT (fall, winter and/or spring) please call the coach immediately.

There are 5 required forms for participation in UMW sports:

1. Health History Form
2. Immunization Record
3. NCAA Intercollegiate Pre-Participation Health Exam
4. NCAA Acceptance of Risk Waiver
5. Health History Update Form

Copies of these forms for download can be found at http://www.umw.edu/athletics/forms/default.php. Complete each form, print a copy of each completed form and send them to your coach at UMW.
