Beginning August 1, 2022, all NCAA student-athletes are required to provide results of a blood test for sickle cell trait. These test results must be submitted to the athletic training department prior to any athletic participation.

If you cannot obtain a copy of these newborn screenings, you must request a sickle cell solubility test from your physician and supply a copy of those test results prior to participation in any athletic activity. You will be asked to upload a copy of these results to your electronic medical file.

1. 1
   Contact your primary care physician or pediatrician and request results of your sickle cell solubility test or newborn blood screenings. These records may take longer than one month to acquire, so ask early.
2. 2
   Contact the state laboratory. Each state handles the storage of newborn screenings differently. See the state-specific information below.
3. 3
   Request a Sickle Cell Solubility test from your physician. Ask your physician for this blood test. Plan for at least 3 business days to get results.
