Wellesley College Athletics varsity sports preseason information about move-in/return dates and schedules are listed below. Please review the information, as it pertains to move-in/return dates, housing, athletic training, sports information, meals, and required meetings.

Additional information for parents and guardians can be found on the Parent Resources page of our website.

The following information is for all student-athletes (last updated: 08/10/16):

Athletic Training

All medical forms should be completed online. The athletic training staff has contacted all student-athletes directly via Wellesley email with instructions on how to access the system and submit information online. Medical information for all preseason teams should have been submitted by the July 1, 2016 deadline, this includes a scanned copy of your health insurance card (if you have the school insurance you will not have your card yet, so you will be exempt from this at this time).

If you have not received an email, or have other questions regarding the process, please contact Director of Sports Medicine Niki Rybko at nrybko@wellesley.edu or 781-283-2388. For more information, view the Sports Medicine page of our website.

Sports Information

All (first year AND RETURNING) student-athletes should fill out the Sports Information Bio Form. This information is important to ensure accuracy on the athletics website and in press releases. The 2016-17 rosters will not be posted until all student-athletes on each team have a form on file. Head shots for the website will be taken in conjunction with uniform fittings.
