Pioneer Gold Card

The East Grand Rapids Athletic Department instituted a "Gold Card" system to ensure that all athletes have the required information turned in to the Athletic Office before they can practice/tryout or participate in any competition.
 

Our coaches are instructed to only allow athletes who have completed this process to be able to participate. Athletes must turn in their "Gold Card" the first day of practice or tryouts.

Athletes must have the following on file to receive a Gold Card:

• Physical on file (dated April 15, 2019 or later)
  • An athlete may use his or her 2019-2020 Physical if they have completed the 2020-21 MHSAA Sports Health Questionnaire. 
• Concussion Awareness form on file
• Eligible to play (grades)
• Participation fee paid (club sport fee will be paid directly to the club)
• Current ImPact Test completed (test expires every two years)

Gold Cards will be available at the HS Athletic Office starting Tuesday August 4

*More information regarding 2020-21 Gold Cads can be found the the Fall Athletics News Letter.
