All student-athletes who participate in the Decatur High School athletic program, are required by the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) and Decatur High School to have a completed and up-to-date Student Athlete Medical Packet on file with the Decatur High School Athletic Department before they can participate in any sport activity including strength and conditioning sessions, try outs, practice or participate in any competitions.
All required forms for participation are now completed online using PRIVIT software. Please go to the Decatur High School PRIVIT site, create a profile for your student-athlete(s), complete each form and upload an updated physical (using the form accessed through PRIVIT). A student cannot be cleared for participation until all forms are complete. Please use the PRIVIT Parent Instructions to assist you through the process.
All Cross Country athletes MUST have their Privit account complete by August 4, 2018.
Decatur Bulldog Boosters
The DBB provide funds, support, and opportunities to all of the sports teams at Decatur. They provide an invaluable service to all of our athletes and coaches. DBB provided a mini-grant to the cross country team to buy coolers and tarps for this season, and they helped us purchase new uniforms last year.

Summer Camps
While we do not require any camp attendance over the summer, runners are certainly encouraged to attend any running camp that finances and time allow for. Camps are great opportunities to learn strategies, meet other runners, and get in better shape. We do not endorse any particular camp, but here are some links to reputable ones.
