ST. MARY'S COLLEGE ATHLETES will use SportsWare Online to create a profile (first-years/transfers only), complete online forms (all student-athletes), upload their physical form (all student-athletes) and sickle cell trait results (required for all incoming first-year/transfer student-athletes).
 
The NCAA mandates that all student-athletes have knowledge of their sickle cell trait status. Athletes have the following options:

• Show proof of previous sickle cell test
  • Most newborns are tested for the sickle cell trait and this information should be easily accessible from your primary care doctor or the State Newborn Screening Center at your State Health Department.
• Consent to a sickle cell solubility blood test to check for the sickle cell trait
  • This simple blood test can be performed at any laboratory. Contact your primary care physician for a script if you are unable to retrieve previous sickle cell test results. Indicate this is a NCAA requirement for participation in collegiate athletics.
    • Quest Diagnostics: Sickle Cell Trait Screen Test with Reflex
    • Labcorp: Hemoglobin (Hb) Solubility with Reflex to Hemoglobinopathy Fractionation Cascade, Blood (005330)
