    PLEASE NOTE: THE SPORTS PHYSICAL CLEARANCE PROCESS HAS CHANGED EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2024.  Please read all the information below carefully.

    THE New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) HAS CHANGED THE SPORTS PHYSICAL SUBMISSION PROCESS. THE SPORTS PHYSICAL EXAMINATION FORM NO LONGER NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE STUDENT’S SCHOOL DISTRICT.  A MEDICAL ELIGIBILITY FORM will still be required.

    New Jersey State Law requires that all students that plan to participate in the after-school Athletic Program in Middle School and High School have a physical exam. **THIS EXAM IS TO BE KEPT BY THE STUDENT’S HEALTHCARE PROVIDER WHO COMPLETES THE PREPARTICIPATION PHYSICAL EVALUATION. 

    • Preparticipation Physical Exams are valid for 365 days. The physical must be current on the day of the first practice to be considered valid. Please be aware that physical exams are recorded based on the date of the exam, not the date the form was completed by the physician.
    • Sports Physical Exams must be recorded on the New Jersey Department of Education Annual Athletic Pre-Participation Evaluation Form.  THIS FORM IS TO BE KEPT ON FILE BY THE STUDENT’S HEALTHCARE PROVIDER.
    • THE MEDICAL ELIGIBILITY FORM MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, AND SUBMITTED TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.  THIS IS THE ONLY FORM THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE NURSE’S OFFICE.
    • Please complete your physical forms over the summer and get them in prior to the first day of school. This helps with forming our teams in the fall. Please note: NO student is permitted to try-out or compete in a sport without the documentation being completed. You can complete the forms online on the Genesis parent portal.
    • Beck Middle School now features A-Teams and B-teams!  This includes two teams for Field Hockey, Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer, Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Baseball, and Softball. We will continue to offer Cross Country, Wrestling, and Track & Field as well. Intramural activities will also continue for tennis, basketball, bowling, flag football, and girls volleyball. All sports (except intramural) will require a try-out moving forward. All sports, including intramural, require the aforementioned sports physical paperwork.
    • We encourage all students, especially our new incoming 6th-grade class, to consider our new athletic opportunities at Beck. Go Bobcats!!!

    Our school offers a wide variety of interscholastic and intramural sports.

    Our interscholastic sports teams compete against teams from other South Jersey area schools, while our intramural teams play against other student teams from Beck. Both are great opportunities for our students to get involved in our school community, show school spirit, exhibit great sportsmanship, and work together with teammates.

    In order to participate in our athletics program, students must have a current physical and a Health History Update form (on Genesis) for the specific sport on file with the school nurse. 

    To avoid delays in clearing sports physicals, be sure to turn in your paperwork on time.  Please note -No emails accepted.
