Parents and coaches,

As you may have noticed on the Healthy Roster app, I have recently opened two new forms which require submissions. This is in preparation for our 2024-2025 seasons. These forms are for our required pre-participation exams. Healthy Roster does not allow multiple uploads for the same document. Because of this, I have split the submission into Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 is for page 1 of the LHSAA PPE document. This includes patient demographics, medical history, and a parent/guardian signature. Part 2 includes a medical examination by a qualified healthcare professional (MD, DO, APRN, or PA). Part of this evaluation is an indication of medical eligibility. Once these are both completed, please submit a photo or pdf of the form to their respective section on Healthy Roster. Conveniently, you can complete this from the Healthy Roster app. If the medical evaluation warranted a referral, please upload clearance note from that appointment under “Doctors Note” document upload. Once you submit all required documents, I will be the one to review and approve the submission. If there are any issues with the submission, I will be in touch to get these resolved. You can begin to submit these documents at your earliest convenience. These documents will be due no later than 1 week prior to the start of your athletes’ team camp. This would mean a July 15^th due date for 2006-2012 athletes and a July 22^nd due date for 2013-2015 athletes.

This year, BROC is launching their fourth annual community-wide event that provides free pre-participation exams (physicals) for middle school & high school athletes in the Baton Rouge & surrounding areas. They will be hosting this event at their main Baton Rouge Orthopaedic Clinic location at 8080 Bluebonnet Blvd on Saturday, May 11th from 7AM-12PM. Licensed medical doctors and credentialed support staff will provide all exams. We look forward to this being a fun and cohesive community event with support from local organizations, where we can offer educational information, food, t-shirts & swag bags.  Please simply click on the infographic below and fill out the Survey Monkey by April 24^th at 5PM to show interest or decline.

If you have questions about Healthy Roster, you can find more information here. If you have not set up your Healthy Roster account, please reach out to me so we can work together to get that completed.

I look forward to working with each of you and our BRSC athletes!

Best regards,

Get additional training sessions under the direction of BRSC staff coaches in BRSC Rec Plus. Rec Plus allows recreational players U6-U12 (2012 -2018) the opportunity to attend one or two sessions with the BRSC Academy Program at the Burbank Campus.

It is the perfect opportunity for recreational players to receive additional training during the season to work on skills not typically covered in team practices. BRSC Rec Plus training sessions will help expand the player’s understanding of the game and focus on age-appropriate skills and tactics.

The cost for a recreational player to attend one training session (on Tuesday or Thursday) for ten (10) weeks, in addition to the recreational fee, is $185. The cost for a player to attend two training sessions on both Tuesday and Thursday each week for ten (10) weeks is $285. Recreational teams can also choose to participate as a group. It’s a great way to get in extra training sessions under the professional tutelage of certified coaches.

Please note that Rec Plus is a separate registration from BRSC Recreational Soccer. Players who wish to participate in both must register for both programs.
