National Letter of Intent is a binding commitment by an athlete to play collegiate athletics for a particular college or university in exchange for a scholarship. (This means your senior is signing a commitment to a Division I or Division II school to play a sport and receiving athletic financial aid for playing the sport. This would also mean the college or university has been in contact with you and your senior about the signing the paperwork. )
This is not the signing date for D-III or JUCO or NAIA Schools

ALL participants are required to have a current physical (within the last three years) on file. If your physical is more than three years old, you will not be allowed to register or participate. If you get a message saying “Valid Physical is Required” it means the physical we have on file either has already expired or will expire by the end of the season you are registering for. You can check your physical expiration date on either the student or parent version of the Infinite Campus Portal App under “More” and “Athletic Physical” Please contact Sherri Anderson at 651-683-6907 or sherri.anderson@district196.org if you need clarification on your physical expiration date.
Physical Clearance to Participate forms are available below.

Completed physical forms need to be turned in to the Eagan Athletic Office in person, faxed to 651-683-6910 or scanned and emailed to sherri.anderson@district196.org.
