SPORTS PARTICIPATION PROCEDURES

To all Students going to 7th-12th Grade Interested in Participating in a Fall, Winter, or Spring Sport:

Sport Registrations will be hosted online at PlanetHS.  This digital platform will allow our parents and students to complete and access registration forms via computer, tablet, or smart phone.  It is HIPAA, COPPA, and FERPA compliant.

  • Parents AND Students must create SEPARATE accounts, using different emails and/or mobile phone numbers.
  • Students must be sure to create accounts using accurate information, including their Official Name that appears on their report card, date of birth, graduation year, and SCHOOL ATTENDING during the School Year they will be playing the sport.
    • Students going to 7th & 8th grade choose Middle School.
    • Students going to 9th-12th grade choose High School.
  • Please take the time to review the "Getting Started" video, the attached "PlanetHS Parent & Student Guide", and the attached "Kick Off Letter" prior to registration as it will eliminate any mistakes.

STEP 1:   

  • Go to  www.planeths.com and click on the yellow LOGIN button in the top right of the screen . 
  • Once on the Login page, click on SIGN UP
    • OR - With a  smartphone, follow the Quick Account Instructions on the second page of this letter. 
      • Note: if students are under 13, and they create an account, they must know their parent/guardian’s email address or mobile phone number. (COPPA COMPLIANCE) 
  • Choose the type of account you wish to create.
  • Complete the requested information.
  • Be sure when choosing your school that you choose the school the student is attending during the School Year they will be playing the sport. 

STEP 2:

  • Link the Parent account to the Student(s) account by clicking LINK ACCOUNT
  • You will be led through this process after creating an account.
    • If you do not link accounts at the time of account creation, you can always click the LINK ACCOUNT button at any time to complete or initiate the linking process. 
    • Parents can link to as many student accounts as they wish by repeating the linking invitation process. 

STEP 3:

  • Complete Athletic Forms as Advised by clicking on ATHLETIC FORMS 
  • Students with accounts may begin completing digital forms immediately. 
  • Parents must be linked to a student account to see the electronic version of the forms. 
    • If they are not linked, they will only see example PDF versions of the forms. 
  • You can complete forms or see their status at any time by clicking on the ATHLETIC FORMS button. 

For additional help please refer to the one-page help-guide below, access the complete online forms tips located in the light green bar at the top of the Athletic Forms page in your account or use the light blue self help button located on the right-hand side of your screen. 

Athletes cannot participate in sports until digital forms are complete and approved by the Athletic Office. Forms will be valid for the entire school year for which they are filled out, including the form completed by the physician.  Completing and having your Pre-Participation Registration Forms accepted by your school makes you eligible to tryout for the team. 

If you need assistance with PlanetHS or need more information, please consult the help documents found here https://schoolsupport.helpdocs.com or email schoolsupport@planeths.com.  If you have questions regarding the content of form requirements, please contact Mr. Deutsch in the Athletic Office at deutschc@nwlehighsd.org

Lastly, please note that LVHN will once again be providing complimentary sport physicals.  

Attached please find information regarding this process. LVHN is offering physicals that can be scheduled at the convenience of the family at dozens of ExpressCARE and Care on Demand locations throughout the region starting on June 1st and running through August 16th.  This allows more than 10 weeks for your families to schedule their physicals throughout the summer. 

There are two options to schedule physicals:

  1. The first and EASIEST option is for families to log in to the MyLVHN app where they can self schedule their appointment.  Easy to follow instructions are included in the attachment. 
  2. The second option is for people to click the “Register for a free PIAA physical” link.  This will direct people to fill out a form to register, and someone from our team will call them within 5-7 business days to schedule their appointment.  This option is primarily for people who are not signed up for the MyLVHN app (and don’t want to sign up for one), AND for families who are signing up multiple athletes at once, such as siblings. 

There is also a convenient email link at the bottom of the attachment if people have any questions about the process or scheduling concerns.
