Students interested in competing on sports teams at J.E. Harrison Middle and Baldwin High schools this coming fall season have some paperwork to complete.

Although classes for the Baldwin-Whitehall School District's 2012-13 school year won't start until Tuesday, Aug. 28, some of the district's fall sports teams start activites as early as Aug. 13.

But before athletes can begin any activities with district teams, they have to complete the required paperwork with their parents/guardians.

That paperwork (also available in the media gallery above), in three packets, is available here:

Packet 1 (11 pages)

Packet 2 (one page)

Packet 3 (one page)

Included in those packets is paperwork for an authorized medical examiner to fill out upon completion of a physical. The physical must be dated for June 1, 2012, or later.

The following is a schedule of when tryouts will be held this summer for fall sports:
