Sports Medicine
Nueva’s sports medicine program provides injury prevention measures as well as evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries. Athletic training staff provide appropriate medical coverage for Upper School interscholastic athletic practices and home competitions. The safety and health of student-athletes is our number one priority and we are committed to returning student-athletes to competition as quickly and safely as possible. To that end, Nueva’s sports medicine program adheres to the guidelines and standards set forth by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), with concussion management based chiefly on CIF protocols.
REQUIRED ATHLETICS FORMS:
If you are actively planning to participate on a Nueva team, you must complete and submit several forms in accordance with the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF).
All forms listed below are due prior to the start of the practices. Please submit all forms electronically via Magnus Health, our new health portal. You can find the red tile for Magnus Health on the Resources page in the Nexus (login required).
- Pre-Participation Physical Examination (PPE) - All students who participate on a Nueva athletics team must have this form completed and signed by a physician (licensed medical practitioner). This must be done annually. NOTE: Physicals must be dated AFTER June 1, 2025 to be eligible for the 2025–26 athletics seasons. (We encourage you to schedule a summertime physical to ensure that your evaluation is valid for the entire school year.)
