BigTeams Student Central

Dear Parent/ Guardian,

The Athletic Department at Ludington Area Schools now hosts their Pre-Participation Athletic Forms online with BigTeams.This digital platform will allow you, and your student(s), to complete and access athletic forms via computer, tablet, or mobile phone. It is HIPAA, COPPA and FERPA compliant. A link to the privacy policy is located at the bottom of the Sign in page at https://studentcentral.bigteams.com/.

Parent and student must create separate accounts, using different emails and/or mobile numbers.

Important: Students must be sure to create accounts using accurate information, including their Official Name from school registration, DOB, high school graduation year and school. You can click SELF HELP on the right of the screen for walkthroughs of the account creation, account linking, and athletic forms functionality.
STEP 1. Go to https://studentcentral.bigteams.com/ once on the Login page, click on Sign Up to Create New Account - OR - With a smartphone, follow the Quick Account Instructions on the second page of this letter.
Note: if students are under 13, and they create an account, they must know their parent/guardian’s email
address or mobile phone number. (COPPA COMPLIANCE)
● Choose the type of account you wish to create.
● Complete the requested information.
● Be sure when choosing your school that you choose the school the student is attending.

STEP 2. Link the Parent account to the Student(s) account.
You will be led through this process after creating an account. If you do not link accounts at the time of
account creation, you can always click the LINK ACCOUNT button at any time to complete or initiate the
linking process. Parents can link to as many student accounts as they wish by repeating the linking
invitation process.
STEP 3. Complete Athletic Forms as Advised.
Students with accounts may begin completing digital forms immediately.
Parents must be linked to a student account to see the electronic version of the forms. If they are not
linked, they will only see example PDF versions of the forms. You can complete forms or see their status
at any time by clicking on the ATHLETIC FORMS button.
For additional help please refer to the one-page help-guide below, access the complete online forms tips located in the light green bar at the top of the Athletic Forms page in your account or use the green self help button located on the top of your screen.
Athletes cannot participate in sports until digital forms are complete and approved unless otherwise specified by your school.
Forms will be valid for the entire school year for which they are filled out, with the exception of the physical exam provided by your physician which will reflect the policy set in place by your athletic department. Completing and having your Pre-Participation
Registration Forms accepted by your school does NOT guarantee you have made the team.
