Colorado State University Pueblo

ALL STUDENT ATHLETES (New & Returning)

All New student-athletes who will be coming to the CSU Pueblo will be required to provide a physical signed by an MD (doctor), DO, PA (physician's assistant) or NP (nurse practitioner). Physicals signed by other medical professionals (i.e. Chiropractors- DC, nurses- RN, LN) will NOT be accepted. Click Here to access the CSU Pueblo Athletics Physical Form.

All pre-participation paperwork, including a physical for new student-athletes, must be submitted online through Team Works . All student-athletes should receive an email containing their username and password to begin the paperwork process. Once in TW, each student-athlete will personalize their profile. 

Team Works will be an athlete's primary way to contact an athletic trainer. Through this system an athlete can schedule a rehab appointment, update medical paperwork, or submit new information. The athletic training staff will use this website to send information as well to student athletes. It is imperative that your contact information as well as emergency contact information, is up to date, including addresses, phone numbers, and emails.

A CSU-Pueblo Sports Medicine Physician and/or Certified Athletic Trainer's review of the student-athlete's medical record will constitute the approval for athletic participation clearance. Where the student-athlete's health history warrants, the individual may be required to be further evaluated by a physician from the CSU-Pueblo Sports Medicine Center or the appropriate specialist before medical clearance is granted.
