In order to participate in intercollegiate athletics at Gwynedd Mercy University, you must complete the required student-athlete medical forms. Student-Athletes are to fill out each form that is posted to their online portal. The online student-athlete portal is a platform called SportsWare, which is our electronic medical record (EMR) system that we use to keep track of all your information, paperwork, and injuries throughout your time as an athlete here at Gwynedd Mercy University. It is highly encrypted to protect personal health information, just like any portal your Primary Care Doctor may use to communicate with you at home.
Below you will find links to PowerPoint presentations detailing the instructions on filling out your pre-participation forms, including how to log in to your SportsWare account, how to fill out your profile, and how to access + fill out all of your forms. The forms are in an editable format and should already be posted to your online portal on SportsWare. The only pages you will need to print are the physical exam pages, which you need to bring directly to your physician to fill out during your physical evaluation. Once completed, scan the form or take a high-quality picture of the form and upload it to your SportsWare account (instructions are in the PowerPoint).
All forms must be completely filled out, signed, and uploaded by:
