Before you will be able to participate in pre-season conditioning you must have completed the following requirements:
- Your physical must be turned in
- You have turned in your Drug Consent / Athletic Code forms
Physicals obtained after April 1, 2012 are good for the entire 2012-2013 school year. I suggest that you do not wait until the last week of July as some doctors are booked or on vacation.

Health Insurance / Student Accident Insurance
Avon High School administrators, coaches and athletic trainers are safety conscious and are trained to instruct athletes in the safe and proper techniques of their particular sports; however, due to the nature of athletic activity, injuries do occur.
Beginning this fall season, Avon High School will no longer provide accident insurance for its athletes. The athletic department strongly advises that parents purchase insurance to cover athletic injuries and the cost of treatment. The department has identified two different options for acquiring health insurance and/or accident insurance.
- All student-athletes are given the opportunity to purchase Student
Accident Insurance Plans. This is accident insurance that is purchased
by the family. The cost for covering all school activities except
High School (Sr. High) football ranges from $22.00 to $184.00. The
cost for football is in addition to the student activity accident
plan and ranges from $89 to $223 depending on the options that the
insured athlete chooses. Please see 2011
Voluntary Student Program brochure for more policy details. Interested
parents should purchase the policy before their athlete's practice
season begins. Please note that for Fall Sports the Policy Effective
Date is July 29th. For completed applications
and accompanying premium received by Francis Dean within the first
10 days of the Policy Effective Date, the student’s coverage shall
begin on the Policy Effective Date. For applications and premium
received after the initial 10-day period, student’s coverage shall
begin on the date that we receive the completed application and premium.

- Hoosier Healthwise is a health insurance program for Indiana children, pregnant women, and low-income families. Health care is provided at little or no cost to Indiana families enrolled in the program. The enrolled member chooses a doctor to get regular checkups and health care for illnesses. Other health needs such as prescriptions, dental care, vision care, family planning services, and mental health services are also available as part of the Hoosier Healthwise program. Call 1-800-889-9949 to get information about the Hoosier Healthwise program. Information can also be found here:
The IHSAA carries catastrophic insurance for major injuries incurred during participation in approved IHSAA sports programs. The policy pays a premium on a catastrophic coverage from $25,000 to $1,000,000. The family's insurance is responsible for the first $25,000. It should be noted that neither the IHSAA nor Avon High School would carry any kind of first dollar medical insurance for athletic injuries.
