Athletic Participation 

Beginning with Spring Sports 2019, all registration for athletic participation will be completed on-line using dragonflymax. Login information is available from school administration of the school the athlete will attend.

DragonFly MAX 

As part of our commitment to the health and safety of your child while participating in athletic events, the Rutherford County Board of Education has joined with DragonFly Athletics as a technology partner.  DragonFly MAX provides an electronic personal health record for your child, which aids in keeping our coaches, administrators, and athletic trainers ever aware of the most pressing health information about your child.  DragonFly MAX also provides us with tools to more easily manage paperwork and evaluate injury patterns, so we can focus on providing the safest possible athletic environment for your child.  As with other student records kept by Rutherford County Schools, these records are electronic and are a requirement for your child to participate in athletics.

DragonFly Athletics is committed to providing the most secure and easily useable system for capturing electronic health records at Rutherford County Schools.  DragonFly follows all applicable privacy and security regulations pertaining to personal health records and student records.  We encourage you to learn more about DragonFly's commitment to the security of your child’s records by visiting https://www.dragonflymax.com and click on the links to Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.”

Additional Testing

According to a study published by the American College of Cardiology, pre-participation ECG screenings of young athletes can lead to the detection of serious underlying cardiac disease in a relatively small number of athletes. However, an ECG or similar testing is not required for participation in RCS Athletics. Parents may wish to discuss additional testing with their medical provider prior to athletic participation.
