Athletics Forms

Hi Everyone! What is everyone using for their Athletics Forms? Blackbaud isn't working out for us with the lack of abilities in this area so we are looking into other programs to help with our needs in this area. I'd love to know if anyone is actually using BB for Athletic Forms.

  • @Michaela Murphy we use a sports preference form for students to request what sport for each season.

  • @Michaela Murphy
    What forms are you referring to? Registration? Medical? We had been using event registration for sign ups but just moved all that to blue sombrero this year. Medical forms we use Magnus health for physicals and compliance .

  • @Michaela Murphy Yes, we use BB Forms for all athletic forms. I have created about 12 different forms that we need each season from participants. However, we only accept hard copy athletic physical forms, and I think a lot of schools do them electronically, and they have issue with trying to do that in BB - so I don't have that problem. I use Event registration for the parents to purchase sport specific practice gear, like shirts and pants, since that is size specific and some kids want 3 shirts and some want 1, etc.

    We have Magnus too, and so we have to go back and forth instead of in one program to view medical and all other athletics forms, etc. We cant get attendance taken through Blackbaud either for the athletic teams. The coaches dont have access to view our Blackbaud Sports Groups since they are not staff. So they dont have access to any of the student's information like a parent's cell #. Do you have any of these problems? We're looking at a program that would do much more and fix our work arounds we are currently experiencing and just curious if its worth switching.

  • @Michaela Murphy we use BB forms - for physicals and other physician signed forms we use a Medical school form (Academics) because that form allows you to upload to the Nurses Office - it's been great moving to all digital and parents don't have to come on campus to drop forms off - no lost paperwork ?

  • @Kathy Hannon Hello Kathy, how do you handle physician signatures within Blackbaud?

  • @Ravendra Persaud the parent scans the form that the physician signed (Physical) and uploads on the Medical type form that we title “Athletic Physical." This way the upload is maintained by the Nurse and there is no paperwork to get lost.

  • @Michaela Murphy - Like @Kathy Hannon, we use Medical forms (Academics) for physicals, etc. For team signups, we use the very dated Custom forms (Additional content types).

  • @Lauren Marcus Eisenberg

    We do the same thing for team sign ups - use the “very dated” Custom Forms. We do use Magnus for physician records but the Nurse handles that.
