Upon his/her returned from an injury, the student must have either a written release or restriction from the attending physicians, which is reviewed by the school nurse, a copy given to the coach and the original is kept in the student's health records.

If athlete meets all of the above requirements he/she will be eligible for Duanesburg athletics.
