Pre-Participation Physical Examinations
Emmaus Athletics requires all student-athletes to obtain physical examination clearance from a qualified medical physician prior to reporting for their respective season.
** Physical Exams must be completed after May 15, 2020
Health Insurance
All student-athletes must have personal health insurance. Proof of insurance is required for all residential students at Emmaus, and mandatory for all student-athletes prior to athletic participation. If you do not have a current health insurance coverage plan, contact the Residence Life Department at Emmaus Bible College to inquire about plan options. Email the Residence Life office at: reslife@emmaus.edu
Emmaus Athletics continues to monitor guidelines and best practices from health departments and national sport organizations. We continue to collaborate with colleagues internally and externally to establish protocols for our re-opening this Fall. The Athletic Department will communicate with student-athletes and fans about procedures for returning to campus, fan attendance, screenings, etc. as we move closer to the start of the year.
We encourage our student-athletes and parents, to contact Athletic Director, Chris McHugh, at athletics@emmaus.edu, with their questions.
We look forward to welcoming you back to campus in August!
Sincerely,
Chris McHugh
Emmaus Athletic Director
