Before beginning to practice with any team, a student-athlete must have a physical if a new candidate or a health screening if a returning athlete. Because the university does not carry health insurance for its athletes, all candidates must provide proof of insurance through a personal policy or their parents' policy. A varsity candidate must also attend a mandatory meeting at which forms will be completed and rules and regulations discussed.
If a parent or candidate has anyquestions relative to physicals, health screenings orhealth insurance, contact athletic trainer Garry Grant(715 836-3877 or grantga@uwec.edu).For questions regarding eligibility, contact ComplianceOfficers Tim Petermann (715 836-5878 or petermta@uwec.edu )or Leslie Huntington (715 836-2663 or huntinla@uwec.edu), or Director of Athletics Scott Kilgallon (715 836-5858or kilgals@uwec.edu).
