Required Forms

OFA Online Registration/Sign-Ups

arbiter sports: the power behind your play

In order for a child to participate in OFA Interscholastic Athletics (including approved merger student-athletes), he/she must complete sign-ups via online registration. Parents/Guardians will set up an online Family Account on the Arbiter website to electronically input student information, health information, insurance information, and complete the required “COVID-19” and “Concussion” forms.

  • Each family will need to create a family account (click on “Create Family Account”). 
  • Once you have a family account set up, you may proceed through the information. 
  • Be certain to fill in any boxes where there is an * (which denotes that the information requested is required). 
  • Please be advised that if a box with an * is left blank, the program will not let you continue to the next page. 
  • Once finalized, please make sure to submit. 
  • Once you have a family account, you do not have to create a new account for every other family member who wants to sign-up. 
  • If more than one (1) of your children wishes to participate, you will simply add another “member” to your family account. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Director of Athletics.

Eligibility & Participation Guidelines

All provisions of the Code of Conduct and Student Handbook are applicable to all student-athletes while participating on a team. In addition to those provisions:

  1. Each athlete is responsible for the safekeeping and care of athletic equipment issued to him/her. No athlete can compete in another sport until all issued equipment is turned in or until the student reimburses the district for the cost of the equipment.
  2. Coaches will set their rules on curfews, cutting practice and team discipline. Students will be informed at the beginning of each season of these rules and the breaking of the rules could lead to suspension from a squad by the building principal.
  3. Athletes are responsible for reporting any injury sustained during a practice or game to their coach and/or Health Office.
  4. Athletes on a physical education medical excuse are not allowed to practice or play in athletics.
  5. Any student failing Physical Education may not participate in athletics until the average is brought to the passing level.

Please note that if a student-athlete is present at a gathering involving the illegal use of tobacco products, alcohol, drugs, or performance-enhancing drugs/supplements (i.e. Party), then he or she is considered to be in possession of those substances and therefore in violation of Athletic Code of Conduct.

The breaking of the above rules during the season will mean suspension from all athletic teams until an informal hearing has been set up with the athletic committee.

Read about the hearing process and view consequences for violations in the Code of Conduct and Student Handbook distributed each fall.
