The fall 2025 Highlander sports season is just around the corner, and we are excited to welcome all of our new and returning student-athletes to campus to start preseason practices. All fall athletic teams (men's & women's soccer, women's volleyball, and men's & women's cross country), will report to campus on Friday, August 15th for move-in, orientation, and athletic screenings.

- Dates and Times for athletic screenings in the fall will be determined. To follow the current mandates, if allowed, screenings may be held in person on Friday, August 15^th, or by scheduled appointments.

- Winter and spring athletic orientation and athletic screenings will be held within the first week of classes. Dates and time will be determined.  Stay tuned for updates!

The following is a checklist and instructions for the required pre-participation information needed by the Cairn University Athletic Department and Cairn University Athletic Training.

In order to be eligible to participate in practice and competition, all information and paperwork must be submitted by AUGUST 1^TH for all Cairn University athletic teams.  Directions on how to complete the athletic paperwork can be found below.
 
All freshmen, transfers, new student-athletes, and returning student-athletes trying out will need a physical.  Mandated by the NCAA, all physicals must be completed within 6 months of a team’s official first practice.  Ideal physical completion dates would be in June and July.
