Athletics

According to board and state policy each student is required to be passing five (5) solid courses in order to participate on the team.  Every class in junior school is consider a solid course except for study hall.  These will be monitored weekly and discussed with the athlete and parent if there is a violation of this policy.

To participate in any junior or high school sport, students must have a current Emergency Medical Authorization Form (EMF) filled out prior to conditioning, practice or try-outs and a current physical/ OHSAA Authorization Form (within the last calendar year) prior to practice or sporting event. These forms may be picked up in the main office at Lakota Plains or downloaded from the Plains Athletic Website.

All students should submit their Physicals, OHSAA Authorization Form, Concussion Form, and Emergency Medical Form to their head coach.  Participation fees will be paid to the athletic secretary in the main office.

Upon completion of all necessary forms and participation fee the student will be eligible to participate.

STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE WITHOUT A CURRENT PHYSICAL, EMF and Concussion Form…IT’S STATE LAW!

Lakota uses the online platform Final Forms for signups and athletic form completion.

Both the parents and the athlete need to establish an account on this site and both will need to fill out the electronic paperwork.

Each athlete will still need to submit a copy of the six-page OHSAA approved Physical to your coach. All six pages must be present before we will accept it. We will then update the expiration date on the Final Forms website and we will keep a record of when your athlete will need to submit a new one.  Each physical is good for one full calendar year from the date it is completed. 

The physical form is available through Final Forms.

At the junior school, level we have a $225 participation fee per sport which must be paid in full before an athlete can step foot on the field, court, or mat.  This fee may be submitted by check payable to Lakota Plains Athletics to our athletic secretary Mrs. Kroeger in the main office or you can let her know you plan to use the PaySchools account

There is a family cap which depends on the total number of athletes participating from your family:

• 1 Athlete $600;
• 2 or more athletes $900

If you have any questions about any of the previous information please feel free to contact the Athletic office. 

Lakota families who may need financial assistance with their children's athletic fees are encouraged to apply for grant consideration through the Northern Cincinnati Foundation.
