2025–2026 Pre-Participation Medical Requirements
Welcome to all new student-athletes, and welcome back to our returning student-athletes!
We are beginning the process for the 2025–2026 pre-participation medical clearance. Please read all information carefully, as requirements are updated annually.
Important Instructions
- Select the correct participation year, including all previous years on the team.
- If you took a year off, you must follow the 3rd-year requirements.
- Requirements must be completed by the following deadlines:
- Men’s Soccer (MSOC): August 11
- Men’s & Women’s Basketball (MBB/WBB) and Softball (SB): August 20
Failure to meet these deadlines will delay your medical clearance to practice or compete at Bloomfield College of Montclair State University.
ATS Medical Profile
- All student-athletes must create a new ATS (Athletic Training System) profile to enter demographic information and upload all required documents.
- We will no longer be using AT Genius.
- Our staff reviews and verifies paperwork Monday through Thursday.
- Once approved, your status will be updated under the “Paperwork” tab in ATS, and your profile will show “Cleared To Play” once fully accepted.
Important Updates
- We have transitioned to ATS for all medical documentation and clearances.
- All student-athletes must create a new ATS profile and follow the step-by-step instructions for their year (listed below).
- Requirements vary by class year: 1st-year, 3rd-year, transfer, or returning.
- Sickle cell trait testing is required for all student-athletes (unless you have documented results with us from prior years with us).
- Physical exams are required for 1st-year and 3rd-year student-athletes and must be completed by your personal physician.
- If you were a DNP (Did Not Participate) last year or had a medical hardship, that year still counts toward your physical and pre-participation schedule.
- All forms, including physicals, must be uploaded directly to ATS.
- Paper submissions will not be accepted.
- Once cleared, your status will be updated on ATS and your coach's team roster by the Sports Medicine staff.
Concussion Testing
- A member of the Sports Medicine staff will contact all first-year student-athletes regarding baseline concussion testing.
