The Virgin Islands Department of Education reminds parents and guardians that all students interested in participating in school sports for the 2025–2026 school year must complete the required physical examinations prior to participation.

Students will not be permitted to participate in school sports without completing and submitting the Pre-participation Physical Evaluation Form and the Sports Clearance Form to their respective schools. Both forms can be found online on the VIDE website at vide.vi under Sports and Athletics. Parents and guardians are encouraged to schedule these physicals as soon as possible to avoid delays in their child’s ability to participate in practices and games when the school year begins.

For additional information or questions regarding the required forms and process, please contact Reneah Guzman, Program Manager, at reneah.guzman@vide.vi.
