SIGN UPS FOR BISON ATHLETICS & FINALFORMS
Please register at: https://beachwood-oh.finalforms.com follow the prompts to create your account for your child(ren). FinalForms allows you to register your child(ren) for Bison Athletics (grades 7-12) and will give you the ability to register your child for one or more sport during the fall, winter and spring seasons.
FinalForms will save your data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice. It will remind you when your forms are expiring. We will also be using FinalForms as the Athletic Department’s main source of communication between coaches, players and parents. You may review your child’s data at any time to verify it is current and FinalForms will give you access to your forms when needed. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update. All forms are confidential.
In order to get started click on this link - FinalForms Parent Playbook. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click “Use Support” or email support at [email protected]
Forms will only be accepted via FinalForms and we will no longer accept paper copies of our OHSAA students physical examination forms.
We encourage you to schedule your child’s physical examination with their physician as soon as possible. All forms must be submitted prior to the first day of practice in order for your child to be able to participate. As a reminder, physical exams are valid for 13 months from the date of examination.
