Dear Families,

It's time to register for Lower and Middle School winter sports at Ursuline. Registration is open through November 1st. Ursuline partners with Catholic Youth Ministry (CYM) and St. Edmond's Academy to offer our Lower and Middle School students (girls and boys) basketball. Whether your student is a seasoned player or has never played, our sports teams are designed for ALL skill levels. We encourage every student to come out and play!

If the number of registrants does not support creating a sports team, you will be refunded the registration fee before competitions start.

Mark your calendar for the Lower & Middle School Parent/Coach meeting on Zoom on Monday, October 21st, at 7:00 p.m. Click here for the Zoom link.

Complete the following steps to register your child to play!

Register with Ursuline Academy by completing the fall sports registration form.

Register with CYM - Select UA as your affiliated school. Once this is complete, your athlete will be eligible to play. (1st and 2nd grade participants do not need to follow this step.)

Submit your Physical Form through Magnus Health. Students only need to complete a physical form once per year. No paper copies of physicals will be accepted.

Grades 3-5: Please complete the Delaware Student Health and Physical Form. Forms must be up-to-date, and any expired physical must be redone for the student-athlete to participate.

If a physical is not on file and approved on Magnus Health, the student-athlete will not be permitted to participate

We ask that all health forms be uploaded to your Magnus profile by October 25th. If your student's appointment is after that date, you can still upload the forms to your account, but there may be a delay in your child participating on the first day of the season. Med Express offers sports physicals if you have difficulty making an appointment with your child's doctor before the October 25th deadline.
