Office staff, if you are unable to have forms submitted to the State Office two weeks
prior to the tournament registration deadline. It is imperative that these forms be
submitted as far in advance of the registration deadlines as possible to allow time
for them to be properly reviewed for completion and processed or returned for
completion. Athletes should not be practicing without a current physical/release
form on file with the state office.
It is the responsibility of the delegation (Program Manager) to know the expiration
dates of their athlete’s physical/release forms and to ensure that new forms are
submitted in time to ensure eligibility for any SO Iowa competition.
