Bexley Athletics Important Participation Information

Insurance: The Bexley City School District requires that all athletes be covered by insurance. Effective in 2003-2004, the district will no longer provide such insurance. If you are in need of affordable coverage in place of, or to supplement, family health insurance, you may take advantage of our program run through the N. Carol Insurance Agency.

A form is distributed to all athletes and is available through school offices, the athletic department, or individual coaches. This form allows the family to purchase affordable insurance for their athlete at their own cost. The new athletic department forms require you to acknowledge your insurance coverage.

Participation Fee: The Bexley City School District has adopted an increased participation fee schedule for athletes beginning in the fall of 2003-2004. Each athlete participating on a team in grades 7-12 must pay this fee in order to participate. This fee goes directly to offset the costs of running the extracurricular sports programs.

The approved fee structure calls for a fee of $50 to be paid for the first sport of the school year that an athlete participates in. All subsequent sports in which the athlete participates in during the school year will require a payment of $25. A family cap of $200 is in place.

Athletes will not be permitted to participate in contests until this fee is paid. The fee may be turned in to the coach or directly to the athletic office. Checks only, please, made out to “Bexley City School District”. Please note on the memo line which sport it is a payment for, and note the athlete’s last name if different from the parent or guardian’s name on the check.
